How to tell if SMP 604 processor upgrade installed?

ENVIRONMENT:  AIX 4.1.4, G30/J30/R30 SMP, 604 processor upgrade.
.QUESTION:  
       Customer would like to know if there is a way to tell that the
       604 chips have been installed in his SMP box (a J30).
.RESPONSE:
         Explained that although the J30 with 604 processors and a
         firmware upgrade is functionally equivalent to the J40, it
         is not a J40.  The processor is upgraded, not the system
         planar, like in model upgrades.
.         The CPU id returned by the uname -m command is the same for
         the J30, whether it has 601 or 604 processors.
.         If you run the command
.            lsattr -El procX 
.         where procX is the name of the processor, you will see a field
         that says Processor Type.  If the 604 processors are installed 
         in the system, they will show up here as 604 PowerPC.  Otherwise
         you'll see 601 PowerPC.
