Intel® Processor Identification Utility has released a new and improved utility with enhanced features and a sleek, user-friendly interface.

Note
  • Intel® Processor Identification Utility for Windows* does not support 6th Generation Intel® Core™ processors and older.
  • Intel® Processor Identification Utility for Windows* requires Internet connection for first installation along with running the utility once. After this initial setup, users will be free to run it without needing an Internet connection. However, some data and links in the “Essentials” section may appear with “NA” or “Internet Required”. 

Intel® Processor Identification Utility for Windows* supports the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors and Intel® Core™ Processors (7th Gen and newer).

What is the Intel® Processor Identification Utility?

This application allows end users to obtain information about their Intel® Processor: Name, number, some technologies, and graphics supported. It is not supported on engineering samples (ES).

The application lets you check and save the processor information such as frequency, technologies, and CPUID data.

There are three sections: Processor Frequency, CPU Technologies, and CPUID.

PROCESSOR FREQUENCY Section

  • CPU Speed
  • System Bus
  • L3 Cache Memory
  • Threads
  • Cores

The image below is an example from an older version of Intel® Processor Identification Utility.

Example

CPU TECHNOLOGIES Section

Intel® Virtualization, Intel® Hyper-Threading, Intel® 64 architecture, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep®, Intel® AES New Instructions, Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions, Intel® Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE), Execute Disable Bit, and Enhanced halt state Technologies.

If Intel® Virtualization is not checked in this application, and it shows as enabled in the Task Manager, then the Intel® Virtualization is used by some other software on the machine. Refer to the table in Does My Processor Support Intel® Virtualization Technology? for more information.

The image below is an example from an older version of Intel® Processor Identification Utility.

Example

CPUID DATA Section

  • Processor Type, Family, Model, Stepping Revision, and CPUID
  • Cache information
  • Graphics controller name

For more information, refer to CPUID Information for Intel® Processor Identification Utility.
