Is there a Family/Model/Stepping scheme?

Dear Intel and Forum Members,

I am looking for a way to convert CPUID information (Family x, Model x, Stepping x) into the Brand name of the processor in question. I am aware of CPUID/CPU-Z tool, I know http://www.intel.com/pressroom/kits/quickreffam.htm http://www.intel.com/pressroom/kits/quickreffam.htm and http://ark.intel.com/ http://ark.intel.com/ but these do not provide the functionality I need.

We have a inventory solution, and part of the inventory data collected is Processor Type (Family x, Model x, Stepping x) into a spreadsheet (100s of PCs, not all with unique processor types ofcourse) I need to add some meaning to this. It would be great if there is a tool available where the Family/Model/Stepping values would convert it to the possible Brand names that match the entered combination.

I find it hard to believe that there is no such tool, or there should at least be a list and/or chart. I have spend many hours searching the web (and learned alot about processors along the way), but the conversion/reference data I need is no where to be found.

Please help!

Thanks,

SS

Unless you are using a 3rd party inventory tool that can help you gathr info via WMI, I would suggest that you create a script to query for processor.name via WMI.

good luck.

Hi lingwg,

I thought about that option - but if possible I would like to avoid expanding the inventory data already collected.
