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

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

@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.
