Check manufacturers specs. There isn't a software way to check for an empty cpu - I'm guessing you meant empty because /proc/cpuinfo tells you how mant slots are full.
grep physical /proc/cpuinfo | uniq -c
4 physical id : 0
4 physical id : 1
So 4 cores on each of 2 sockets.

Subject: how to get the number of sockets
Hi all,
I was going to by a red hat license for a new server, an looking the note1 in this link:
https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/server/#note1
I have reallized that the important thing is the number of sockets, not the number of cpus.
So my question is simple, how can I get the number of sockets a motherboard has, ?(without opening it. of coures)
I have look at the /proc dir but I get only info about the cpus, not about the sockets,
any suggestion,
Thanks in advance
ESG
