Single vs Multi-chip CPUs

[FaRHScom]

Hello,

I need some information regarding Intel processors, specifically whether they are single-chip or multi-chip modules.

Due to Oracle licensing requirements, it's crucial to know if the processors we use are single or multi-chip modules. We have over 500 different CPUs in use, which likely include both types. Ideally we could use an API for querying each CPU separately. 
But regardless, where can I find this information?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello FaRHScom,

Thank you for reaching out. I understand that you would want to know if the processor that you currently have are single-chip or multi-chip modules.

Please allow me time as I look into this internally. I will get back to you once I have an appropriate answer.

Hello Robbie,

thank you for your help. 
Correct, we want to know if the processors that we currently have in use are single-chip or multi-chip module CPUs.

Thank you and best regards

Hello FaRHScom,

Thank you for patiently waiting. I am currently checking if there are any API that you may use to check how many dies are within a processor. To further investigate please answer the questions below:

• Please share a sample model of the processor that you're reporting.
• Are you currently using a desktop, laptop or a workstation?

I look forward to your response!

Hello Robbie, 

thank you for your help. Here are a few CPUs we have in use, as examples:

Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 164U
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4309Y
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4314
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8462Y+
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5315Y
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1225 v5
Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900K
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4670 CPU
Intel(R) Celeron(R) N5100

We use over 500 different CPUs across laptops, servers, and workstations, making it hard to pinpoint one example. Some CPUs may have multiple dies, especially in our servers.

Hello

Thank you for patiently waiting. As of the moment, there is currently no Intel-provided public API that returns whether a processor is MCM or monolithic. This information must be looked up per SKU using ARK or datasheets, kindly note that some of this information is not publicly available.

Since you are working with over 500 different CPUs across laptops, servers, and workstations and you may encounter difficulties in manually researching the information on the particular die design that the processor of the systems being used, I suggest contacting your system manufacturer for further assistance in determining if the device processor utilizes a monolithic or MCM design. This way, you may quickly obtain the information you need with any potential hindrances due to document access restrictions for some pressors.

An example below from an OEM's website. 

• Single-Chip (Monolithic Die): Core Ultra 7 164U, Xeon Silver 4309Y, Xeon Silver 4314, Xeon Gold 5315Y, Xeon E3-1225 v5, Core i9-10900K, Core i5-4670, Celeron N5100.
• Multi-Chip Module (MCM): Xeon Platinum 8462Y
• In terms of servers or workstations - Intel has published the article: Are the Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor Families Single-Chip or Multi-chip Modules?

With that being said, I would like to inform you that I will now proceed to close this thread. Please be advised that this thread will no longer be monitored and I highly suggest for you to contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer for further support.
