Logical versus Physical Processors

As previously described in “Assignment of IDs to the Processor” on page 860, if Hyper-Threading is enabled a unique Agent ID is assigned to each of the logical processors within each of the physical processors on the trailing-edge of reset. Table 45-1 on page 1150 defines the agent IDs assigned to each of the logical processors in a cluster consisting of four Xeon MP processors.
