- wmf 5y agoI assume it's CPUID not frequency.
- gmueckl 5y agoAre you saying the standard CPUJID registers are different between the two types of cores? I'd imagine that that would break a lot more software.
- wmf 5y agoFor example, you can read the cache configuration from CPUID and the different cores have different cache sizes. You can also detect hyperthreading using CPUID.
