As it is in Wikipedia, the determination of the power saving model and
How do you identify processors, such as the same frequency and the same cache size, without using TDP information? You'd probably use NAMESTRING.
Thanks.

Yes, I checked again, and for some processors I do use the TDP for identification.
But this is really futile, for newer cpus I just use the namestring.

I ran the CoreTemp 1.12.1 in a Wine environment.
The model appears as Intel Core i5 (Sandy Bridge), but NAMESTRING is listed as Intel (R) Core(TM) i7-2637M CPU @ 1.70GHz. How do you identify the model? It is an honor to teach you all the steps.
Thanks!

You can't reliably extract information when running on a VM or on an emulation layer.

I know that RDMSR instructions are not available in VM and Wine environments.
Could you tell us the history of the Intel Core i5 (Sandy Bridge) model, or all of the CPUID instructions?
Thanks!
P.S: I created a database to determine the CPU. It does not use namestring. If you have a problem with this method, please let me know.
