Intel IA-32 8.4.2 Presence of the Local APIC

Vol. 3A 8-9
ADVANCED PROGRAMMABLE INTERRUPT CONTROLLER (APIC)
8.4.2 Presence of the Local APIC
Beginning with the P6 family processors, the presence or absence of an on-chip local APIC can
be detected using the CPUID instruction. When the CPUID instruction is executed with a source
operand of 1 in the EAX register, bit 9 of the CPUID feature flags returned in the EDX register
indicates the presence (set) or absence (clear) of a local APIC.

NOTES:
1. Not supported in the Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon processors.
2. Introduced in the Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon processors. This APIC register and its associated function
are implementation dependent and may not be present in future IA-32 processors.
3. Introduced in the Pentium Pro processor. This APIC register and its associated function are implemen-
tation dependent and may not be present in future IA-32 processors.
