I'm trying to find a solution to get the CPU Type on a Mac as it's displayed in Apple System Profiler. A long time ago, I was using the mach APIs and host_processor_info to get the cpu type and subtype. I'm afraid this does not return good results on Intel Mac. On an iMac Core Duo, the subtype is said to be 4 and it does not match any reasonable value in machine.h. I had a look at some IOKit source code that gets this info by looking at the cpu device_type but this has changed on Intel Mac. The "cpu" type does not exist anymore and the "processor" type does not return any valuable information at all for me. I had a quick look at the sample code on the ADC website and it's using the Gestalt API and the constants in Carbon don't seem to be up- to-date. I looked at the sysctl hw.cpufamily which is highlighted in mach/ machine.h (on Intel Mac only AFAIK) but I have some troubles with this: This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
