MULTIPLE-PROCESSOR MANAGEMENT
Table 7-2 shows the initial APIC IDs for a hypothetical situation with a dual processor system.
Each physical package providing two processor cores, and each processor core also supporting
Hyper-Threading Technology.

NOTE:
1. Because information on the number of processor cores in a physical package was not available in early
single-core processors supporting Hyper-Threading Technology, the core ID can be treated as 0.
