What is the Intel® Processor Identification Utility?
This utility allows end users to obtain information about their Intel® Processor: name, number and graphics supported. This utility is not supported on engineering samples (ES).
The utility also enables you to check and save the processor information such as frequency, technologies, and CPUID data.
The utility has three sections: Processor Frequency, CPU Technologies, and CPUID
Here is an example:
What is the information reported under PROCESSOR FREQUENCY tab?
- Reported and expected frequencies
- Cache information
- Number of cores and threads
Here is an example:
What is the information reported under CPU TECHNOLOGIES tab?
Intel® Virtualization, Intel® Hyper-Threading, Intel® 64 architecture, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® , Intel® AES New Instructions, Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions, Intel® Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE), Execute Disable Bit, and Enhanced halt state Technologies.
If Intel® Virtualization is not checked in the utility, and it shows as enabled in the Task Manager, then the Intel® Virtualization is used by some other software on the machine. Refer to the table in Does My Processor Support Intel® Virtualization Technology? for more information.
Here is an example:
What is the information reported under CPUID DATA tab?
- Processor Type, Family, Model, Stepping Revision, and CPUID
- Cache information
- Graphics controller name
For more information , refer to CPUID Information for Intel® Processor Identification Utility.
Here is an example:
How can I save the information of the processor using this utility?
Under File, click Save, choose a folder, and click OK. The text file will be stored in the folder you have chosen.
Is there any Linux* version of the Intel® Processor Identification Utility?
No, there's no Linux* version for this utility.
What are the supported Windows* operating system (OS) versions?
Refer to Supported Operating Systems for the Intel® Processor Identification Utility.
What are the supported Intel® processors for Intel® Processor Identification Utility?
Refer to Supported Intel® Processor for Intel® Processor Identification Utility.
