Does each core in a processor with Intel Secure Key have its own unique entropy source?

Hello,

I am wondering if each core in a multi-core processor with Intel Secure Key (Ivy Bridge and later) has its own entropy source?  Or would, say, a quad-core chip have all four cores share a single entropy source?

Thanks.
