Dark, hi,

Shishjong might correct me if I'm wrong – publishing cpuid info for Nehalem will be aligned with Nehalem launch. It should be safe to use model and family numbers of CPU you have.

We hope you need this info not to detect ISA (like SSE4.2) support, there are long ago published flags for that.

I also believe you should direct all questions on pre-release Software Development Platform with Nehalem processor you have got to your premier support account, you can get one by registering SDP in there (the advantages are: it will be answered in full, as not everything can be published in forum, it will be answered as it has to be and also within some short time frame according to SLA).

Best regards,
-Max
