To determine the supported CPU version exists on a Windows system or not

Question

Question

RKumar · Mar 27

Hi Team,

I’m looking for an API or command to determine if the supported CPU version exists on a Windows system.

Before installing IRIS, I would like to confirm whether the system/server has the supported CPU version. Do we have any API or command to check the details before starting the installation of IRIS 2024.1?

Product version: IRIS 2024.1

$ZV: IRIS for Windows (x86-64) 2024.1 (Build 267_2_24001U) Mon Jan 13 2025 14:19:22 EST

You can use cpu-z or coreinfo like https://community.intersystems.com/user/bob-kuszewski recommends. If you look at his post here : https://community.intersystems.com/post/intersystems-platforms-update-q1...

and follow the links you will get to coreinfo for windows:

Too bad there is no lscpu for windows.

Hi @RKumar

You can check using Coreinfo.exe.

Thank you @Mihoko Iijima
Is there any direct command to find this without installing any exe?

Intersystems identified that while installing the IRIS . .

@Murray Oldfield posted "Decoding Intel processor models reported by Windows" a while back. Perhaps the wmic command is along the lines of what you're looking for. The properties that look of interest include name, description, caption, and processorid:

C:\>wmic cpu get name
Name
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6248 CPU @ 2.50GHz

C:\>wmic cpu get caption
Caption
Intel64 Family 6 Model 85 Stepping 7

C:\>wmic cpu get processorid
ProcessorId
BFEBFBFF00050657

I don't know if any of these alone is enough to determine whether the processor supports AVX and/or BMI, but it should be enough to find specifications for the processor.
