minus-squareSteveTech@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·2 days agoI couldn’t find a hard answer to whether this supports EPYC only, or Ryzen too; so I put together this script to read the CPUID to detect for INVLPGB support according to the AMD64 Programmer’s Manual, and my 7800X3D does not support INVLPGB. (Let me know if I’ve made an error though!) Code #include <stdio.h> #include <stdint.h> int main() { uint32_t eax, ebx, ecx, edx; eax = 0x80000008; __asm__ __volatile__ ( "cpuid" : "=a" (eax), "=b" (ebx), "=c" (ecx), "=d" (edx) : "a" (eax) ); printf("EBX: 0x%x\n", ebx); if (ebx & (1 << 3)) { printf("CPU supports INVLPGB\n"); } else { printf("CPU does not support INVLPGB\n"); } return 0; }
