+libcpuid (library for x86 CPU detection)
+
libcpuid is a small C library for x86 CPU detection and feature extraction.
Using it, you can:
* get the processor vendor, model, brand string, code name
-* get information about CPU features such as: number of cores or logical CPUs, cache sizes, CPU clock
-* check if the processor implements a specific instruction set such as the SSE2, 3DNow!

+ CPUs, cache sizes, CPU clock
+* check if the processor implements a specific instruction set such as SSE2
+ or 3DNow!
* execute the CPUID and RDTSC instructions (portably!)
-* and have this all in your commercial application, without getting into trouble.
