using the attached files, how can I add the CPU feature AVX2 to my binary file

 

I have converted Hexadecimal to Binary for my needs but I'm not sure which code represents AVX2. I think it's suppose to be EAX=7 but which is it, if anyone knows, please

Hello CPUID,

CPUID should be invoked with EAX=0x07 and ECX=0x00. In the resulting EBX value, availability of AVX2 is indicated by Bit 05. To check it, you should AND the EBX value with 0x20; if the result is then non-zero, you know your processor has support for AVX2.

Hope this helps,

...S
