Loading ...Download of the day: cupid Linux tool to determines the exact model of CPU
cpuid dumps detailed information about the CPU(s) gathered from the CPUID instruction, and also determines the exact model of CPU(s). It supports Intel, AMD, and VIA CPUs, as well as older Transmeta, Cyrix, UMC, NexGen, and Rise CPUs.
Use this tool to verify that you got the same product for which you have paid money or determine features and instruction set supported by your CPU.
This is useful to find CPU information such as:
=> vendor_id
=> version information (1/eax)
=> miscellaneous (1/ebx)
=> feature information (1/ecx)
=> processor type
=> family
=> model
=> stepping id
=> extended family
=> extended model
=> virtual machine extensions
=> brand id (1/ebx)
=> brand (0x80000004)
=> cache and TLB information (2)
=> deterministic cache parameters (4/eax), extra processor cores
=> AMD extended brand id (0x80000001/ebx)
=> Transmeta processor revision ID (0x80860001/ebx & ecx) etc
This tool dumps all information available from the CPUID instruction. The exact collection of information available varies between manufacturers and even between different CPUs from a single manufacturer.

Hey,
Cool tool. There is also tool avilbale from Vmware but you need to burn it on CD (ISO file)
http://download3.vmware.com/software/vi/CPU_Compatibility.zip
It determines VMotion compatibility, AMD and Intel cpu revision, 32 or 64 bit instruction set and much more.
Although this product is VMWare specific but anyone can download it and use for any purpose.
Cheers
Raj
