What is the processor identification number called?

Feb 29, 2004 3:43AM PST

Hello,

I need a few bits of information from you people.

Just as therer is a Serial Number on every AMD processor, there is a identification code on the Intel Pentium 4 and Celeron processors.

What is this code called?

Where can I locate the code...on the chip or on the box?

Is there any other identification number?

How do i check its warranty?


Thanks in advance.

Hello jconner,

You completely missed my questions....The "processor serial number" was discontinued long time ago....besides I am refering to a Pentium 4 or a Celetron and not a Pentium 111 processor...


Every CPU that is manufactured today has a Serial Number present on its packaging or on the chip itself. This number is unique to that processor and is not duplicated any where.

While contacting Intel for warranty, this number is required in addition to the bill of purchase. The number helps track the reseller who has imported the processor.

I want information about this number. This number is also mentioned on your bill when you purchase the processor.
