Thanks Matt,

Theoretically, it is still possible for Intel/AMD to attach attributes to 
logical entities in a physical package.

I'm not really a h/w guy, but say in a package with several cores.  If one core 
fails, does it render other cores in the same package useless?  Will there be 
such indicators/sensors?  I presume each processor whether logical/physical has 
some state that could be queried upon.
