Where can I find a list of which family and model codes belong to which Code Names

[mejustandrew]

If I'm looking in registry on a windows machine at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0  I can see something like Intel64 Family 6 Model 181 for an ultra core 235u which then I find it's Arrow Lake.

Is there a documented matching between the Family 6 Model 181 to a certain Code Name like Arrow Lake for example?

Thanks for the reply! I've seen this, but it doesn't cover my question. like how can I tell if it's arrow lake or lunar lake just from this code  Family 6 Model 181?

To get details of the CPU you need to use the Windows Management Interface (WMI). Most Windows programming languages should have some way of accessing the WMI through program code. You can also see the WMI information for a processor using a Command or Terminal window.

For example try typing wmic cpu get caption, name, numberofcores, maxclockspeed, socketdesignation into a Command or Terminal window. To see all the information wmic provides type wmic cpu into a Command or Terminal window, there is virtually every aspect of CPU information there but it does not includes designations such as Arrow Lake.

Hello mejustandrew,

Thank you for reaching out to the community. Based on the CPU model you provided, the Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 235U belongs to the Arrow Lake family. You can explore the Intel® Core™ Ultra 200 series, which includes processors from various families, using the link provided here. Please note that the list does not specify which processors are part of the Lunar Lake or Arrow Lake families. However, my research indicates that processors with a "V" suffix are typically categorized under the Lunar Lake family. If you have any further inquiries or questions, please feel free to ask.

hello Dhanniel! I've seen the link you provided and thanks for the support! I am still not able to find any documentation of the matching between values like Intel64 Family 6 Model 181 and the CPU family like Arrow Lake. If all I got is this entry from the registry saying it's a Model 181 and not the CPU model, is there any official documentation of what that means?

Hello mejustandrew,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. At the moment, I haven't found any official documentation on the matter. However, I will conduct a more thorough investigation and get back to you as soon as possible with any findings.

Thank you so much, Dhanniel!

Either directly which CPU family (such as Arrow Lake) the certain model (such as 181) is or which CPUs are part of a certain model, so I could back track them after to a CPU family would be very helpful!

Thank you for the help and reply!

Hello mejustandrew,

Thank you for your patience. I have reviewed this internally and found information that may help explain your issue. The designation "Intel64 Family 6 Model 181" refers to a specific processor model within Intel's processor family. Here's a breakdown of what each part of the designation signifies:

• Intel64: This indicates that the processor supports Intel's 64-bit architecture, which allows for more memory and processing power compared to 32-bit architecture.
• Family 6: Intel processors are categorized into families based on their architecture. Family 6 is a broad category that includes many of Intel's modern processors, typically based on the x86 architecture.
• Model 181: This is a specific identifier within the Family 6 category. Each model number corresponds to a particular set of features, performance characteristics, and intended use cases. Model 181 would be associated with a specific processor design and capabilities.

While there is no official documentation explaining the designation you found in the Registry Editor, you can explore the article titled "How to Get the CPUID for Intel® Processors" for guidance. This article provides detailed instructions on using the CPUID instruction to identify processor features and specifications.

Additionally, @pressed_for_time, I appreciate your insights on this matter. It seems we share similar recommendations. If you need further clarification or have additional questions, feel free to reach out.

Hello Dhanniel! I've seen the reply and I was looking for some documentstion of the categories of the cpu families and the models that are part of each. Something like this table, but official one

https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/cpuid

I believe the answer is that there is none at least from my understanding. That helps as I will not look further.

Thank you so much for the help and replies!

Hello mejustandrew,

Thank you for informing me. Since you will not be pursuing this matter further, I will assume that this inquiry can be closed. Additionally, upon internal review, it appears that this is an internal tagging issue from Microsoft. Therefore, I recommend contacting Microsoft for more information on this tagging. I will proceed with closing this inquiry. If you need further assistance, please feel free to submit a new question, as this thread will no longer be monitored.

For Windows users there is CPU-Z which is a free utility from CPUID and can be downloaded from here (see Classic Versions for the latest release). This will give you the Code Name (family name) of the processor such as Raptor Lake. It also supplies other details about your CPU, motherboard, memory and graphics. CPU-Z uses a manually created lookup table to match the Family and Model Number information to the family name, so its needs to be updated constantly to keep up with new and proposed future CPU releases.
