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.
