Not necessarily, look at the first few lines of your new output:

	[    0.000000] SRAT: PXM 0 -> APIC {0-7,16-23} -> Node 0
	[    0.000000] SRAT: PXM 1 -> APIC {32-39,48-55} -> Node 1
	[    0.000000] SRAT: PXM 2 -> APIC {64-71,80-87} -> Node 2
	...

If those values are in hex, you have these apic id ranges:

	0x00-0x07, 0x10-0x17
	0x20-0x27, 0x30-0x37
	0x40-0x47, 0x50-0x57
	...

So it's most likely that each of the physical processors has eight logical 
processors (represented by the least significant three bits) and there are 
two physical processors (the more significant four bits) per node.
