Which software to use to get serial number of the epyc cpu?
in linux dmidecode can request the info.
in windows wmic can be used to create a call that will ask for it.
NOTE: rather the hardware will answer correctly is a crap shoot. all of my EPYC and ThreadRipper systems either report ‘unknown’ or they just respond with a blank line.
Trooper_Ish@Ubu2004RedChungus:~$ sudo dmidecode -t 4 | grep "umber"
Serial Number: Unknown
Part Number: Unknown
no dice for me on Gen1 TR

lshw might be better?
Nope, gives product, but not serial
@pitdel Why do you think it is possible to read the serial number from software? After the pitchforks directed at Intel after the Pentium 3 (briefly) had a read serial number instruction, I’d be surprised if it were repeated.
The wikipedia page for Pentium III mentions that there is a similar identifier called Protected Processor Identification Number (PPIN) starting with Ivy Bridge and Zen 2.
