Confused about CPU Weight in Xen

[LEVAC109]

I'm a bit confused about the way Xen weights its "CPU Weight" value on the actual processors. Please help me understand using a simple example below.

Ex.
What would be the total value possible (maximum possible value) if the CPU is Intel Xeon E3-1230 @ 3.2GHz (8 virtual cores)?

Would it be 8x 3200 (equals 25600)?

e3-1230 is quad with 8 thread. so 4x3.2ghz will be correct

I don't understand you properly.
