Was that just for one CPU? Can we have them all please?
The interesting part is the line starting 00000001. We're looking at
the top 8 bits of EBX:
Leaf Subleaf EAX EBX ECX EDX
00000000 00000000: 00000010 .... 68747541 Auth 444d4163 cAMD
69746e65 enti
00000001 00000000: 00a20f12 .... 00200800 .. . 7ef8320b .2.~
178bfbff ....
↑↑
So the first CPU is CPU0. Could have told you that... what about the
others? :)
Right, sorry. Here it is: http://ix.io/4oLq
If anyone can reproduce this with a serial port, can you try this?
