; project name: CPUID
; target platform: KolibriOS, x86 (IA-32), x86-64 achitectures
; compability: CPUID works in MS Windows by means of emulator KlbrInWin from Diamond http://board.kolibrios.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1273
; compiler: flat assembler 1.70.03
; version: 2.28
; last update: 23rd October 2013

;******************************************************************************
; Summary:
; supported vendors - Intel, AMD, VIA, Cyrix, IDT (Centaur),Transmeta, Vortex86
; displayed features - CPU frequency;
; Internal Name;
; Multiplier and System Clock frequency;
; Standard and Extended Features;
; CPU signature (family, model,stepping);
; Codename;
; L1, L2 and L3 Caches;
; Technology;
; CPU Vendor;
; Type and Brand ID;
; Logo for Vendors;
; calculation of PR-rating for AMD AthlonXP;
; Amout of RAM (available and total)
; Highest input values for standard and extended calls
; performed tests - Performance test (RSA encoding)
;******************************************************************************
;"To do" plans:
; actual use of Brand ID for description of Intel's CPU, i.e. Celeron/Pentium separation;
; remove support of Cyrix and early Centaur (IDT) - they are too old, rare and non-standard;
; Sempron detection - probably they supports Brand-ID;
; update caches descriptors for intel Core 1/2
; quantity of logical CPU/cores - requires APIC ID analysis
; newest AMD/Intel codename detection
; improve support of Vortex86

;HISTORY:
;2.3: CPUID 23/10/2013 (not finished)
;Authors: Sergey Kuzmin aka Wildwest <kuzmin_serg@list.ru>
; Pavel Rymovskiy aka Heavyiron <Heavyiron@pisem.net>
; fedesco
;Features:
; (+) 'choose FSB' button removed and related code changed in the way it would use FSB value detected by Ghost's code;
; (+) fixed calculation of Extended model for newest Intel;
; (+) initial support of new vendor Vortex86 - logo, caches, technology;
; (+) Italian translation by fedesco;
; (+) makefile for *nix by fedesco;
; (+) new cache descriptors for Intel;
; (+) fixed typo, which makes output of Brand ID for AMD CPU's at incorrect place by Heavyiron;
; (+) fixed typo, which makes selection of incorrect codename for AMD F8x CPU's;
;Known issues: Sempron marked as AthlonXP
; second window doesn't closed when you close main window
; incorrect multiplier detection for newest CPU
; incorrect cache detection for several models of newest Intel CPU, because they designed for another cache detection approach

; Iliya Mikhailov aka Ghost <Ghost.nsk@gmail.com>
; /^S0rG^\ <s0rg@ngs.ru>
; Pavel Rymovskiy aka Heavyiron <Heavyiron@pisem.net>
; Leency <Leency@email.ua>
;Features:
; (+) creative work by Leency - logos now much better and they take less size;
; (+) changes from Heavyiron: client-relative drawing, title with function 0. It means the end of compatibility with MenuetOS!
; (+) real-time RAM monitoring (previous versions showed changed amount of available RAM only at redraw event or CPUID window activation);
; (+) fixed address of LAHF feature, added detection of CMPL, SVM, MOVCR8 technologies for AMD;
; (+) fixed L2 cache size detection for VIA (they changed format from 8 bits to 16 bits several years ago);
; (+) more macroses for Interface and Threads (from Menuett.inc written by /^S0rG^\, 2002), sources separated into several include files;
; (++) more info about caches for VIA and Transmeta;
; (+) added detection of DCA, SSSE3, VMX technologies for Intel;
; (+) updated multiplier detection for AMD and Intel (thanks a lot to Ghost);
;Known issues: Sempron marked as AthlonXP
; second window doesn't closed when you close main window
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;2.1: CPUID 10/01/2007
;Author: Sergey Kuzmin aka Wildwest <kuzmin_serg@list.ru>
;Features:
; (++) more info about caches for AMD and Intel
; (+) redesign
; (+) fixes for names of some extended features
; (+) fixed missing technology for some AMD64 cpu's
; (+) detection of dual-core AMD Opteron, but I came to conclusion that detection of AMD Fxxh CPU's should be changed (don't know how yet)
; (+) new caches for Intel
; (+) fixed Celeron detection based on L2 cache size for newest Intel CPU (there are Celeron models with 512 Kb);
; (+) CPUID now display System Clock with accuracy 0.01 MHz;
; (+) new logo for Intel (they changed it some time ago);
;Known issues: Sempron marked as AthlonXP
; second window doesn't closed when you close main window

;Authors: Sergey Kuzmin aka Wildwest <kuzmin_serg@list.ru>
; Eugeniy Grechnikov aka Diamond <diamondz@land.ru>
; Iliya Mikhailov aka Ghost <Ghost.nsk@gmail.com>
;Features:
; (+) detection of Brand ID of AMD CPU's (Opteron etc - not finished)
; (+) detection of Extended family and Model of AMD CPU's
; (+) interface+(redesign)
; (+) calculation of System Clock
; (++) added multiplier detection for AMD and Intel (thanks a lot to Ghost)
; (+) optimization of GIF decoder, code cleanup and bugfix by Diamond;
; (+) fixed bug with MMX+ detection for Cyrix CPU (in second window;
; it was properly recognized in main window);
; (+) we show appropiate message in second window if Extended Features
; ($8000_000x) aren't available;
; (+) we mark unknown CPU models as "Next generation CPU";
;Known issues: Sempron marked as AthlonXP
; second window doesn't closed when you close main window

;1.1: CPUID 17/03/2006
;Author: Sergey Kuzmin aka Wildwest <kuzmin_serg@list.ru>
;Features:
; (+) performance test now runs after click at "Press for more" button => we start app without test, i.e.
; immediately, but application can be unstable during multiple switching between windows(need testing)
; (++) added detection of total and available amount of RAM (would work only in KolibriOS)
; (++) added detection of extended family and model (not shown, but if you want...);
; (++) added detection of effective family and model;
; (+) more codenames: Intel Tejas, Presler, Yonah, Conroe;
; (+) more codenames: AMD Toledo;
; (+) interface+(redesign).
;Bugs: probably some non-critical graphical issues
;Known issues: Sempron is not supported (marked as AthlonXP)

; (+) added output of highest standard and extended calls
; (+) Extended Features(phase 1 - big part of AMD/Intel specific EF)
; (+) reworked P-rating calculation for AMD AthlonXP ->
; now one program for 266, 333, 400 MHz FSB
; (but unstable - see Bugs section)
