Traditionally, in Solaris computing world the word CPU refers to a Chip planted on the mother board.  

Way 1:     Using psrinfo

    psrinfo [-p] -s processor_id

% psrinfo -v

Status of virtual processor 0 as of: 03/29/2012 10:07:52

on-line since 09/27/2011 03:17:48.

The sparcv9 processor operates at 1500 MHz,

and has a sparcv9 floating point processor.

Status of virtual processor 1 as of: 03/29/2012 10:07:52

on-line since 09/27/2011 03:17:48.

The sparcv9 processor operates at 1500 MHz,

and has a sparcv9 floating point processor.
