Now I've got another question that I hope someone can provide the
answer I want, not the one I'm afraid is coming ;-)
What I haven't been able to find is a way to get a listing of
processor flags (like FPU, MMX, SVN, VMX, SSE3, HTT, etc). Is there a
way to do this without resorting to pycpuid??
Not as far as I can see.
Pycpuid can give me
this stuff but it requires some compiling for systems, and I'm still
not positive that it will work across platforms (AMD v. Intel).
Any thoughts? I haven't found an answer yet. I've also looked at
CIM_Processor, but it seems to me that the CIM classes are identical
to the Win32 classes, at least in most cases.
The CIM_ classes represent the DMTF Common Information Model [1],
the structure on which WMI is based. In principle other manufacturers
could implement WMI -- or whatever they would want to call it -- but
as far as I am aware, no-one has.
I'm a little surprised that Microsoft -- who provide sample code [2] for
performing a CPUID check/call -- haven't used that code to provide
such information to WMI, but it doesn't look as though they have.
