  uint8_t cpu_id_t::detection_hints[CPU_HINTS_MAX]
contain miscellaneous detection information. Used to test about specifics of certain detected features. See CPU_HINT_* macros below.

See also:
    Hints

  int32_t cpu_id_t::ext_family
CPU extended family

  int32_t cpu_id_t::ext_model
CPU extended model

  int32_t cpu_id_t::family
CPU family

  uint8_t cpu_id_t::flags[CPU_FLAGS_MAX]
contain CPU flags. Used to test for features. See the CPU_FEATURE_* macros below.

See also:
    Features

  int32_t cpu_id_t::l1_assoc
Cache associativity for the L1 data cache. -1 if undetermined

  int32_t cpu_id_t::l1_cacheline
Cache-line size for L1 data cache. -1 if undetermined

  int32_t cpu_id_t::l1_data_cache
L1 data cache size in KB. Could be zero, if the CPU lacks cache. If the size cannot be determined, it will be -1.

  int32_t cpu_id_t::l1_instruction_cache
L1 instruction cache size in KB. Could be zero, if the CPU lacks cache. If the size cannot be determined, it will be -1.

Note:
    On some Intel CPUs, whose instruction cache is in fact a trace cache, the size will be expressed in K uOps.

  int32_t cpu_id_t::l2_assoc
Cache associativity for the L2 cache. -1 if undetermined

  int32_t cpu_id_t::l2_cache
L2 cache size in KB. Could be zero, if the CPU lacks L2 cache. If the size of the cache could not be determined, it will be -1

  int32_t cpu_id_t::l2_cacheline
Cache-line size for L2 cache. -1 if undetermined

  int32_t cpu_id_t::l3_assoc
Cache associativity for the L3 cache. -1 if undetermined

  int32_t cpu_id_t::l3_cache
L3 cache size in KB. Zero on most systems

  int32_t cpu_id_t::l3_cacheline
Cache-line size for L3 cache. -1 if undetermined

  int32_t cpu_id_t::l4_assoc
Cache associativity for the L4 cache. -1 if undetermined

  int32_t cpu_id_t::l4_cache
L4 cache size in KB. Zero on most systems

  int32_t cpu_id_t::l4_cacheline
Cache-line size for L4 cache. -1 if undetermined

  int32_t cpu_id_t::model
CPU model

  int32_t cpu_id_t::num_cores
Number of CPU cores on the current processor

  int32_t cpu_id_t::num_logical_cpus
Number of logical processors on the current processor. Could be more than the number of physical cores, e.g. when the processor has HyperThreading.

  int32_t cpu_id_t::sse_size
SSE execution unit size (64 or 128; -1 if N/A)

  int32_t cpu_id_t::stepping
CPU stepping

  int32_t cpu_id_t::total_logical_cpus
The total number of logical processors.

This is num_logical_cpus * {total physical processors in the system}

If you're writing a multithreaded program and you want to run it on all CPUs, this is the number of threads you need.

  cpu_vendor_t cpu_id_t::vendor
contains the recognized CPU vendor

  char cpu_id_t::vendor_str[VENDOR_STR_MAX]
contains the CPU vendor string, e.g. 'GenuineIntel'
