In a multi processor machine, what does get-wmiobject -class 'win32_processor' processorId return ? The docs state

Remarks On a multiprocessor computer, one instance of the Win32_Processor class exists for each processor.

But where in the command/query you specify which processor to read from ? Does it default to the 1st ? How one queries the 2nd processor (how do you specify which instance of Win32_Processor to query) ?

Here is the output of get-wmiobject -class 'win32_processor'

Doesn't the command return a collection of instances, which can be iterated, as in the example script on that link? What command/code are you running? What is the result? – underscore_d Sep 21 '20 at 08:31
@underscore_d: it does not look so – Veverke Sep 21 '20 at 08:45
So what is your system? What other CPUs does it have? – underscore_d Sep 21 '20 at 08:58
