ACPI: CPU identified as Genuine Intel, Intel64 architecture. Family: 6, Model: 58 (Ivy Bridge) - Supports: SSE4.1/4.2, AVX, AES-NI, VT-x - ACPI C-states: C1, C1E, C3, C6, C7 - Compatible with intel_idle driver
: Windows uses these identifiers to fetch the correct drivers or microcode updates. acpi genuineintel---intel64-family-6-model-58
: This has been the standard for almost all Intel Core processors since the Pentium Pro. ACPI: CPU identified as Genuine Intel, Intel64 architecture
Understanding each segment—ACPI, vendor string, 64-bit capability, and family-model-stepping—is a valuable exercise for any systems engineer working on x86 power management, hypervisors, or kernel debugging. While the dashes are anomalous, the underlying hardware is solid, well-documented, and widely deployed. ACPI: CPU identified as Genuine Intel
