MSR_CORE_THREAD_COUN

T

Package

Configured State of Enabled Processor Core Count and Logical 

Processor Count (RO)
• After a Power-On RESET, enumerates factory configuration of 

the number of processor cores and logical processors in the 

physical package.

• Following the sequence of (i) BIOS modified a Configuration Mask 

which selects a subset of processor cores to be active post 

RESET and (ii) a RESET event after the modification, enumerates 

the current configuration of enabled processor core count and 

logical processor count in the physical package.

15:0

Core_COUNT (RO)
The number of processor cores that are currently enabled (by 

either factory configuration or BIOS configuration) in the physical 

package.

31:16

THREAD_COUNT (RO)
The number of logical processors that are currently enabled (by 

either factory configuration or BIOS configuration) in the physical 

package.

MSR_THREAD_ID_INFO

Thread

A Hardware Assigned ID for the Logical Processor (RO)

7:0

Logical_Processor_ID (RO)
An implementation-specific numerical. value physically assigned to 

each logical processor. This ID is not related to Initial APIC ID or 

x2APIC ID, it is unique within a physical package.
