What is the Intel® Processor Identification Utility?
This application allows end users to obtain information about their Intel® Processor: Name, number, some technologies, graphics supported, and more. It is intended for production Intel® Genuine Processors, and it is not supported on engineering samples (ES). For more information on Engineering Sample visit Definition of Engineering Sample (ES) Processors and How to Identify an Intel ES.
There are five main sections: Header Information, CPU Information, Advanced Technologies, Essentials, and System Info. Each section that contains a blue arrow contains additional information when clicked on. These arrows are available on 12th Generation and newer processors with hybrid architecture. As seen in the example above.
Header Section
The new Intel® Processor Identification Utility has a static header on top with the following information about your Intel® Processor from left to right:
- Intel® Logo for your processor
- Intel® Processor BrandString
- Intel® AI Boost (for Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors) or Graphics (for all other processors)
- Indicator that displays either of the following
- Genuine Intel® Processor indicates that your processor is an Authentic Production Intel® Processor.
- Pre-production Processor for processors that are not intended for release to the public.
Note Intel does not honor warranty requests for used, gray-market, second-hand, gifted, or products purchased from other than our authorized distributors or resellers. Intel does not honor warranty requests for products identified as counterfeit or re-marked. If the identification occurs after the product is returned to Intel, the product will not be returned to the requester to protect the marketplace from possible re-introduction, the request will be denied and the case will be closed.

The image below is an example of the CPU Information’s additional features only available on Intel® 12th Gen and newer processors with hybrid architecture.
Advanced Technologies Section
Intel® AI Boost, Intel® Virtualization, Intel® Hyper-Threading, Intel® 64 architecture, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep®, Intel® AES New Instructions, Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions, Intel® Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE), Execute Disable Bit, and Enhanced halt state Technologies.
For additional technologies not available on the Intel® Processor Identification Utility, visit the Intel® Product Specifications.
If Intel® Virtualization is not checked in this application, and it shows as enabled in the Task Manager, then the Intel® Virtualization is used by some other software on the machine. Refer to the table in Does My Processor Support Intel® Virtualization Technology? for more information.
The image below is an example from of the Advanced Technologies section of the Intel® Processor Identification Utility.
| Note | A check mark  indicates if the technology is present and enabled on the processor, and an X  means it’s either not available or it is disabled on the system for that given technology. |
Essentials Section
For Mobile and Embedded Processors, the following will be available: Processor Number, Marketing, Launch Date, Datasheet, Specs, and Support.
The image below is an example of a Mobile Processor’s essential screen.
For Desktop and Workstation Processors, the following will be available: Processor Number, Marketing, Launch Date, Datasheet, Specs, and Support.
