CPU quota vs. All CPUs

Folks:

I started up a simple three node cluster in Google Dataproc. The Manager node and two worker nodes are all machine type: n2-standard-4  (gcloud command line is shown below). It has been running for about 15 minutes now.

When I look at my Quotas and System Limits page, I see that in the line for "CPUs (All Regions)" it shows I am using 12 CPUs.  However, on the line "N2 CPUs" it shows only 8 CPUs.  

Why is there a discrepancy between these two numbers?

This is what the Quotas/Utilization look like: https://imgur.com/a/AqGJoMt

I have no other VMs running at this time.

Thanks

Rich H.
