Mac Pro Dual 3.0 or Quad 3.0 Factory Sealed Box Dscp v.s. Hrdware Overview?

I am attempting to determine if the Apple MacPro CPU I recently purchasd has a discrepancy
with the ID Description v.s. the actual Physical Unit.

On the Box:

Apple Part No. Z0D8008W8
Apple Serial No. G87042VMUPZ
Apple Model No. A1186
Apple Family ID Z0D8

Apple Description on Box: MAC PRO/3.0QX/4X2/FX4500/750/SD

CPU System Profile Hardware Overview:

Hardware Overview:

Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B04
SMC Version: 1.7f8

It would appear that there is a Discrepancy from the Description/Product No.'s that appear on the Factory Sealed Box,
and the Hardware Overview on this Machine. Please if possible, verify that this machine corresponds with the description
on the box. Thank you very much.

As I read it, the model description is a two processor( dual core ) 3.0GHz Mac Pro with four 2GB FB-DIMM's, nVidia Qaudro FX4500 video card, 750GB hard drive and a superdrive. It is also a Mac Pro 1,1 indicating dual core processors, as the quad core Mac pro is Mac Pro 1,2.

Thank you. Indeed, you are correct. Somewhat confusing though, in that Apple chooses to place the
"Intel Xeon Quad" Logo on the box. I believe the seller of this machine was influenced by this, in addition to the somewhat ambiguous description which you have helpfully deciphered.
I very much appreciate your confirmation of the Model # details.

Quad-core or 8-core, all Xeon

Every Mac Pro packs the power of two multicore Intel Xeon processors. Choose two 3.0GHz quad-core “Clovertown” processors — the fastest Quad-Core Intel Xeon available — for groundbreaking, 8-core power.

Or configure a quad-core Mac Pro with a pair of dual-core “Woodcrest” processors at 2.0GHz, 2.66GHz, or 3.0GHz.

64-bit Intel Xeon. Up to 3.0GHz.

Inside each Mac Pro reside either two Quad-Core or two Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors. Running at up to 3.0GHz, they bring industry-leading 64-bit performance to every Mac Pro.

Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor 8-core or quad-core. It's all Xeon.

Based on Intel’s Core microarchitecture and designed for systems with multiple processors, the two 64-bit Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Clovertown” processors in the new 8-core Mac Pro set a blistering 3GHz pace.

And the 64-bit Dual-Core Intel Xeon “Woodcrest” processors that power the quad-core Mac Pro run at clock speeds of 2.0GHz, 2.66GHz, or 3.0GHz. That translates to up to 2x the performance of the Power Mac G5 Quad.
