} PROCESSOR_INFO, *PPROCESSOR_INFO;

Members

• wVersion
  Must be set to 1.

  Required.

• szProcessCore
  Name of the microprocessor core (for example, ARM).

  Optional.

• wCoreRevision
  Revision number of the microprocessor core.

  Optional.

• szProcessorName
  Set to the actual microprocessor name, for example, ARM720T.

  Optional.

• wProcessorRevision
  Microprocessor revision number.

  Optional.

• szCatalogNumber
  Set to the catalog number for the processor.

  Optional.

• szVendor
  Set to the name of the microprocessor vendor.

  Optional.

• dwInstructionSet
  Required.

  The following flags are possible for this microprocessor.

  Flag	Description
  PROCESSOR_FLOATINGPOINT	The microprocessor has hardware floating point enabled. This flag is set if the WprocessorLevelmember of the SYSTEM_INFO structure indicates that the current microprocessor is an x86 with hardware floating point.
  PROCESSOR_DSP	The microprocessor has DSP support enabled. If your device has a DSP that can be used by an application, this should be reported by setting this flag.

• dwClockSpeed
  Maximum clock speed of the CPU.

  Not required.
