The new app shows 1 CPU for AMD chips I have...
CPUID: Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 175
Speed: 1 x 2541 MHz
Yet for Intel chips it seems right...
CPUID: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
Speed: 4 x 2400 MHz
No big deal just thought someone may want to know....

Correct, a known issue/ side effect of Using Intel IPP calls to determine those characteristics. No quick easy fix just yet. Notice that the same should've been happening in 2.4V also (same code) ;D
-
leave IPP detection, try ask directly OS core ....

Thanks for the reply, doesn't bother me a bit just didn't know if you knew...Have a great day!

Will likely do that, CPU detection at all was a last minute addon that we pinched from 2.4v as is. Straight assembly was unacceptable because we needed 64 bit functionality. We'll probably cook up a more complete intrinsic based version in the not too distant future that doesn't depend on IPP. I like the features from the original Lunatics assembly version and would like to move towards implementing those [But in a way that will be fairly simple, generic and work across Bit'age and brands...As you say, OS calls where possible too].
