I suggested before, but even now I can see I might want to optimize my ASM using 2 different methods for AMDx64 & Core each. Not sure the best way; maybe an Int output for the CPU, or a float (AMD x64 = 1.0, Optron=1.1 P3=2.0, P4=3.0, P4E=3.1...), a text output... I vote for Int out to be used easier with a Select.

TIA

I expanded the request to cover the # cores to cover Signal Analyser bug. cheers

Here's some ASM code I found around to help out, prob can be reduced by dropping <SSE-CPU support: http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/s ... vel2007.zi p MyCo's Advanced Reverb could use such a primitive.

One change: please not one single primitve (will become messy rather soon).

1. general CPUID 2. SSE level in increasing order (0=no SSE). Increasing because I'd like to have my old coding still work with newer CPUs. 3. Number of cores (CPU independent). If number of CPUs is possible it would nice to have, too.

Well, with just a CPUID, the SSE level should be able to be found via a lookup table in a module, likely as the # of cores (unless someone disabled the extra cores in BIOS).

Does anyone know if different CPUs share the same CPUID, but have different # of cores/SSE support?

Before your first post

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    Then your post goes up straight away.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
