Abstract:
Embodiments of an invention for using a processor identification instruction to provide multi-level processor topology information are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor includes decode logic and control logic. The decode logic is to receive an identification instruction having an associated topological level value. The control logic is to provide, in response to the decode logic receiving the identification instruction, processor identification information corresponding to the associated topological level value.
