[Programming] Determine whether a specified processor feature is supported by the current computer
To determine whether a specified processor feature is supported by the current computer, use IsProcessorFeaturePresent function found in kernel32.dll . Syntax: BOOL IsProcessorFeaturePresent( [in] DWORD ProcessorFeature ); For parameter value, you can refer to Win32 API documentation . C# (.NET Framework 4.7.2) using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; namespace CPU { internal class Program { [DllImport("kernel32.dll")] private static extern bool IsProcessorFeaturePresent(uint ProcessorFeature); static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("PF_SSSE3_INSTRUCTIONS_AVAILABLE " + IsProcessorFeaturePresent(36)); Console.WriteLine("PF_AVX_INSTRUCTIONS_AVAILABLE " + IsProcessorFeaturePresent(39)); Console.ReadLine(); } } } Output: PF_SSSE3_INSTRUCTIONS_AVAILABLE True PF_AVX_INSTRUCTIONS_AVAILABLE False For other generic processor information, you can alway
