MULTIPLE-PROCESSOR MANAGEMENT
8.9.3.1 Hierarchical ID of Logical Processors with x2APIC ID
Table 8-3 shows an example of possible x2APIC ID assignments for a dual processor
system that support x2APIC. Each physical package providing four processor cores,
and each processor core also supporting Intel Hyper-Threading Technology. Note that
the x2APIC ID need not be contiguous in the system.
