Abstract

Embodiments of processors, methods, and systems for a processor core supporting processor identification instruction spoofing are described. In an embodiment, a processor includes an instruction decoder and processor identification instruction spoofing logic. The processor identification spoofing logic is to respond to a processor identification instruction by reporting processor identification information from a processor identification spoofing data structure. The processor identification spoofing data structure is to include processor identification information of one or more other processors.
