CHIP

From The Apple Wiki
(Redirected from CPID)

The CHIP tag is a 16-bit unsigned integer that denotes the type of chip the firmware is to be installed to. It is one of the few tags that is not read from the fuses, but is instead hardcoded in the bootchain. It is used to prevent incompatible firmwares from being installed; different processors may have their MMIO registers in different locations.
