On Windows, you can check the features of your CPU using a tool like CPU-Z.
On the web, you can look up your CPU on Intel ARK and see its details. This is not recommended, since ARK does not show all the flags or features of a CPU.
On Linux, I like to look at the flags
section of /proc/cpuinfo
. To see what feature maps to each flag, see the arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeature.h
in the Linux source code. The flags will all have a prefix of X86_FEATURE_
and the comment that follows describes the feature.
