Don't you mean:

"... should be calculated by removing the Core and Thread ID bits"?

here?

I'm looking at

"2.1.10.2.1.3 ApicId Enumeration Requirements

...

Each Core::X86::Apic::ApicId[ApicId] register is preset as follows:
• ApicId[6] = Socket ID.
• ApicId[5:4] = Node ID.
• ApicId[3] = Logical CCX L3 complex ID
• ApicId[2:0]= (SMT) ? {LogicalCoreID[1:0],ThreadId} : 
{1'b0,LogicalCoreID[1:0]}.

and in order to get a unique LLC ID, you simply need to shift out the
CoreID and the ThreadId, right?

Or am I misreading it?
