Not absolutely sure, but I think the flag "lm" in /proc/cpuinfo may indicate that you've got a 64-bit capable processor. /usr/include/asm-i386/cpufeature.h has a line that says
#define X86_FEATURE_LM (1*32+29) /* Long Mode (x86-64) */ Looking on google it seems that Long Mode is indeed 64-bit mode. (Differing from Real Mode 16-bit and Protected Mode 32-bit) On 5/24/07, Kenneth Burgener <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Is there a list, or a database (similar to pcidatabase.com), that lists the processors based upon the "cpu family", "model", and "stepping" found in /proc/cpuinfo? For example: cpu family 15 model 6 stepping 5 The wiki[1,2] has a good list of processors from AMD/Intel but the listings are all based on a "market name" and "stepping", but their stepping is a "letter - number" where /proc/cpuinfo only shows a "number". The main thing I am trying to determine is if the CPU is a 64bit processor, and the only true way would be to look up the processor, correct? (uname only indicates what kernel is installed, not what is possible) Thoughts?
