The mapping from socket id to silkscreen label is motherboard-dependent. I did some tests with a few different machines: [root@...l-pe1950-05 ~]# dmidecode | grep -i "Processor Information" -A10 Processor Information Socket Designation: CPU1 Type: Central Processor Family: Xeon Manufacturer: Intel ID: F6 06 00 00 FF FB EB BF Signature: Type 0, Family 6, Model 15, Stepping 6 Flags: FPU (Floating-point unit on-chip) VME (Virtual mode extension) DE (Debugging extension) -- Processor Information Socket Designation: CPU2 Type: Central Processor Family: Xeon Manufacturer: Intel ID: F6 06 00 00 FF FB EB BF Signature: Type 0, Family 6, Model 15, Stepping 6 Flags: FPU (Floating-point unit on-chip) VME (Virtual mode extension) DE (Debugging extension) [root@...dl580g5-01 ~]# dmidecode | grep -i "Processor Information" -A10 Processor Information Socket Designation: Proc 1 Type: Central Processor Family: Xeon MP Manufacturer: Intel ID: FB 06 00 00 FF FB EB BF Signature: Type 0, Family 6, Model 15, Stepping 11 Flags: FPU (Floating-point unit on-chip) VME (Virtual mode extension) DE (Debugging extension) -- Processor Information Socket Designation: Proc 2 Type: Central Processor Family: Xeon MP Manufacturer: Intel ID: FB 06 00 00 FF FB EB BF Signature: Type 0, Family 6, Model 15, Stepping 11 Flags: FPU (Floating-point unit on-chip) VME (Virtual mode extension) DE (Debugging extension) -- Processor Information Socket Designation: Proc 3 Type: Central Processor Family: Xeon MP Manufacturer: Intel ID: FB 06 00 00 FF FB EB BF Signature: Type 0, Family 6, Model 15, Stepping 11 Flags: FPU (Floating-point unit on-chip) VME (Virtual mode extension) DE (Debugging extension) -- Processor Information Socket Designation: Proc 4 Type: Central Processor Family: Xeon MP Manufacturer: Intel ID: FB 06 00 00 FF FB EB BF Signature: Type 0, Family 6, Model 15, Stepping 11 Flags: FPU (Floating-point unit on-chip) VME (Virtual mode extension) DE (Debugging extension) dmidecode | grep -i "Processor Information" -A10 Processor Information Socket Designation: CPU 1 Type: Central Processor Family: Pentium M Manufacturer: Intel ID: A4 06 01 00 FF FB EB BF Signature: Type 0, Family 6, Model 26, Stepping 4 Flags: FPU (Floating-point unit on-chip) VME (Virtual mode extension) DE (Debugging extension) -- Processor Information Socket Designation: CPU 2 Type: Central Processor Family: Pentium M Manufacturer: Intel ID: A4 06 01 00 FF FB EB BF Signature: Type 0, Family 6, Model 26, Stepping 4 Flags: FPU (Floating-point unit on-chip) VME (Virtual mode extension) DE (Debugging extension) [root@...bl260cg5-01 ~]# dmidecode | grep "Processor Information" -A10 Processor Information Socket Designation: Proc 1 Type: Central Processor Family: Xeon Manufacturer: Intel ID: 76 06 01 00 FF FB EB BF Signature: Type 0, Family 6, Model 23, Stepping 6 Flags: FPU (Floating-point unit on-chip) VME (Virtual mode extension) DE (Debugging extension) -- Processor Information Socket Designation: Proc 2 Type: Central Processor Family: Xeon Manufacturer: Intel ID: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Signature: Type 0, Family 0, Model 0, Stepping 0 Flags: None Version: Not Specified Voltage: 1.1 V External Clock: 200 MHz On all the above, the socket label starts on 1, but I bet we'll find cases where it start from 0.
