I am tring to do computer inventory on our site, We have
various computers. (Example)On one of ourUnder computer
management in Windows 2000, System Information summary
processor is listed as ( x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 6
GenuineIntel ~728 Mhz)
Now! any one know where can I locate a chart which
describes all the Intel processors explained by the above
description.
Hi
It is the Family (Code) and Model (Number) that is defining the
processor type.
You will find a table that defines what processor type the different
Family Code/Model Number represents in the pdf document that is
available for download here:
AP-485 Intel® Processor Identification and the CPUID Instruction
http://www.intel.com/design/xeon/applnots/241618.htm
Based on this table, your "Family 6 Model 8" processor is a
Pentium III processor, model 8, Pentium III Xeon processor, model 8,
or Intel Celeron processor, model 8.
"Downside" is that the table is listing the Family Code and Model
Number as binary values. Here is the table translated to decimal
values (by me):

and Intel Celeron processor.
15 02 Pentium 4 processor, Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor – M, Intel
Xeon processor, Intel Xeon processor MP, Intel Celeron
processor, and Mobile Intel Celeron processor.
15 03 Pentium 4 processor, Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor – M, Intel
Xeon processor, Intel Celeron processor.
Note referanses from above table:
5. To differentiate between the Pentium II processor, model 5, Pentium II
Xeon processor and the Intel Celeron processor, model 5, software should
check the cache descriptor values through executing CPUID instruction with
EAX = 2. If no L2 cache is returned, the processor is identified as an Intel
Celeron processor, model 5. If 1M or 2M L2 cache size is reported, the
processor is the Pentium II Xeon processor otherwise it is a Pentium II
processor, model 5 or a Pentium II Xeon processor with 512K L2 cache size.
6. To differentiate between the Pentium III processor, model 7 and the
Pentium III Xeon processor, model 7, software should check the cache
descriptor values through executing CPUID instruction with EAX = 2. If 1M
or 2M L2 cache size is reported, the processor is the Pentium III Xeon
processor otherwise it is a Pentium III processor or a Pentium III Xeon
processor with 512K L2 cache size.
7. To differentiate between the Pentium III processor, model 8 and the
Pentium III Xeon processor, model 8, software should check the Brand ID
values through executing CPUID instruction with EAX = 1.
