SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION

structure

Retrieves information about the processor architecture.

RosAsm syntax:

[SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION:
ProcessorArchitecture: W$ 0
ProcessorLevel: W$ 0
ProcessorRevision: W$ 0
MaximumProcessors: W$ 0
ProcessorFeatureBits: D$ 0]

C Syntax:

typedef struct _SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION {
    USHORT ProcessorArchitecture;
    USHORT ProcessorLevel;
    USHORT ProcessorRevision;
    USHORT MaximumProcessors;
    ULONG ProcessorFeatureBits;
} SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION, *PSYSTEM_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION;


Members
ProcessorArchitecture
   The system's processor architecture. Some of the possible values are defined in winnt.h and SYSTEM_INFO structure with identifiers of the form PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_* (where '*' is a wildcard).
   This member can be one of the following values.


PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_ALPHA   02   Alpha 32 bits developed by Digital Equipment Corp.      
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_ALPHA64   07   Alpha 64 bits developed by Digital Equipment Corp.      
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64   09   x64 (AMD or Intel)      
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_ARM   05   ARM      
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_IA32_ON_WIN64   0A         
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_IA64   06   Intel Itanium-based      
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_INTEL   0   x86      
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_MIPS   01   MIPS (Microprocessor without interlocked pipeline stages)      
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_MSIL   08   MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language)      
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_PPC   03   PowerPC      
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_SHX   04   ShX microprocessor architecture type.      
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_UNKNOWN   0FFFF   Unknown microprocessor architecture type.   

ProcessorLevel
   The system's architecture-dependent processor level. Some of the possible values are defined in the Win32 documentation for the SYSTEM_INFO structure.
   It should be used only for display purposes. To determine the feature set of a processor, use the IsProcessorFeaturePresent function.
   If wProcessorArchitecture is PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_INTEL, wProcessorLevel is defined by the CPU vendor.
   If wProcessorArchitecture is PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_IA64, wProcessorLevel is set to 1.

   This is the least common denominator for an MP system:
      For PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_IA64:
                        1 - Intel 64 bits

      For PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_INTEL:
                        3 - Intel 80386
                        4 - Intel 80486
                        5 - Intel 586 or Pentium
                        6 - Intel Pentium Pro or Pentium II, I7 (I presume if you are using XP, the maximum value is 6, since my processor is an I7 and it returns also 6)

      For PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_MIPS:
                        00xx - where xx is 8-bit implementation number (bits 8-15 of PRId register)
                        0004 - Mips R4000. The best way to retrieve the level is perform an "And 0FF" operation with ProcessorLevel value
             If the resultant value is 4, then it is a Mips R4000

      For PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_ALPHA:
                        xxxx - where xxxx is 16-bit processor version number (low order 16 bits of processor version number from firmware)
                        21064 - Alpha 21064
                        21066 - Alpha 21066
                        21164 - Alpha 21164

      For PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_PPC:
                        xxxx - where xxxx is 16-bit processor version number (high order 16 bits of Processor Version Register).
                        1 - PPC 601
                        3 - PPC 603
                        4 - PPC 604
                        6 - PPC 603+
                        9 - PPC 604+
                        20 - PPC 620

ProcessorRevision
   The system's architecture-dependent processor revision. Some of the possible values are defined in the Win32 documentation for the SYSTEM_INFO structure.
   The following table shows how the revision value is assembled for each type of processor architecture.
      Processor            Value
      Intel Pentium, Cyrix, or NextGen 586   The high byte is the model and the low byte is the stepping. For example, if the value is xxyy, the model number and stepping can be displayed as follows:
                     Model xx, Stepping yy
      Intel 80386 or 80486         A value of the form xxyz.
                     If xx is equal to 0xFF, y - 0xA is the model number, and z is the stepping identifier.
                     If xx is not equal to 0xFF, xx + 'A' is the stepping letter and yz is the minor stepping.
      ARM               Reserved.

   Other examples. This is the least common denominator for an MP system:

                    For PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_INTEL:
                        For Old Intel 386 or 486:
                            FFxx - where xx is displayed as a hexadecimal CPU stepping (e.g. FFD0 is D0 stepping)
                        For Intel Pentium or Cyrix/NexGen 486
                            xxyy - where xx is model number and yy is stepping, so 0201 is Model 2, Stepping 1

                    For PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_MIPS:
                        00xx is 8-bit revision number of processor (low order 8 bits of PRId Register)

                    For PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_ALPHA:
                        xxyy - where xxyy is 16-bit processor revision number (low order 16 bits of processor revision number from firmware). Displayed as Model 'A'+xx, Pass yy

                    For PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_PPC:
                        xxyy - where xxyy is 16-bit processor revision number (low order 16 bits of Processor Version Register).  Displayed as a fixed point number xx.yy

MaximumProcessors
   On Windows8 and above it contains the maximum amount of processors allowed to be inserted on the hardware.
   On older Windows versions, this value is always contains zero.

ProcessorFeatureBits
   A bit mask representing any special features of the system's processor (for example, whether the Intel MMX instruction set is available).The flags for the Intel platform include:
      For i386 Feature bit definitions can be represented as

You have to know the facts before you can distort them.

Tks Gunther  :t

The worst thing is, this whole set of enumerations and structures are already documented since 1999 from the book WindowsNT-2000 Native API Reference, and also on all sources i have of windows (NT, 2000 and the Windows Research Kernel) all of this is somewhat documented.

There is absolutely no reason why M$ didn´t do that.

The worst is, i´m having to gatter information from a pdb dumper as well, to check for the information for the different OSes, like in here for example.

I took a look in some pdb dumpers available, but i strongly believe that we really need our own tool for that task. It shouldn´t be hard to code one that can export header files. Maybe eventually i´ll be forced to do such app, but if others could do that, it will be way better :)

I always believed that the information inside a pdb and a lib file so important as the source code itself.

No doubt about that. Thank you again for your work.

GUGA (GUSTAVO),
This is great intel, thanks. Do you mind if I highjack some of the defines for my MASM project ???

Hi Zen

of course i don´t mind. Feel free to use it as you wish  :t
