;******************************************************************************
; project name: CPUID
; target platform: KolibriOS, x86 (IA-32), x86-64 achitectures
; compability: probably some functions would work in MenuetOS 32 and MenuetOS 64, may be even in Miraculix;
; CPUID works in MS Windows by means of emulator from Diamond (http://diamondz.land.ru)
; compiler: flat assembler 1.67.5
; version: 2.17
; last update: 3rd February 2007
; maintained by: Sergey Kuzmin aka Wildwest

;******************************************************************************
; Summary:
; supported vendors - Intel, AMD, VIA, Cyrix, IDT (Centaur),Transmeta
; 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

;HISTORY:
;3.0: CPUID 03/02/2007 (not finished)
;Authors: Sergey Kuzmin aka Wildwest <kuzmin_serg@list.ru>
; Iliya Mikhailov aka Ghost <Ghost.nsk@gmail.com>
; /^S0rG^\ <s0rg@ngs.ru>
;Features:
; (+) 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
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;2.0: CPUID 31/10/2006
;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)
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;1.0: CPUID 26/09/2005
;Authors: Sergey Kuzmin aka Wildwest <kuzmin_serg@list.ru>
; Marat Zakiyanov aka Mario79 <mario79@bk.ru>
; Andrey Halyavin aka halyavin <halyavin@land.ru>
;Features:
; (+) fixed bug, when processor doesn't support extented features and program don't report 'no' in such case
; (+) fixed bug in CPU Type detection
; (+) fixed bug, when program crashes on AMD AthlonXP when after click on 'Press for more' button
; you click on 'Choose FSB' button;
; (+) 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)
; (+) support for Intel F5x, renamed C3(Esther) to C7(Esther)
; (+) more codenames
; (Intel: new Prescott's model; Dothan; VIA: Esther;
; AMD: Newcastle, Paris, Winchester, San Diego, Venice, Palermo)
; (+) performance test (RSA encoding, fixed-point arithmetics)
; by Andrey Halyavin
