| Dec 20, 2014 at 17:02 | comment | added | Daniel B | Yeah, so what? What make you think the Linux kernel has an integrated CPU model database? If you CPU does not support this CPUID query (maybe because it is disabled in the BIOS setup), you’re simply out of luck. | |

Sadly, code is x64 only

Comment suggests this solution only applies to a specific architecture (not the one referred to in the OP)

Databases obviously work, but only if they contain what you want to look up. You stated on the other answer that it doesn’t work. Apparently, this code is only for x86-64, sorry about that. Since /proc/cpuinfo contains the same information any, I doubt it’ll yield anything useful.

When I try to compile it, I get: cpumodel.S: Assembler messages:\n cpumodel.S:12: Error: bad register name `%rbp'\n cpumodel.S:13: Error: bad register name `%rsp' etc.
