Remarks

On a multiprocessor computer, one instance of the Win32_Processor class exists for each processor.

To determine the total number of processor instances associated with a computer system object, use the Win32_ComputerSystemProcessor association class.

To determine if hyperthreading is enabled for the processor, compare NumberOfLogicalProcessors and NumberOfCores. If hyperthreading is enabled in the BIOS for the processor, then NumberOfCores is less than NumberOfLogicalProcessors. For example, a dual-processor system that contains two processors enabled for hyperthreading can run four threads or programs or simultaneously. In this case, NumberOfCores is 2 and NumberOfLogicalProcessors is 4.

The Win32_Processor class is derived from CIM_Processor.

Examples

The "Multithreaded System Asset Gathering with PowerShell" PowerShell sample uses a number of classes, including Win32_ComputerSystemProcessor, to retrieve data from a system.

The following VBScript code example retrieves data about the operating system version and the processor it is running on from Win32_Processor, Win32_ComputerSystem, and Win32_OperatingSystem. This example requires Windows Vista or later.


strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
 & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")


Set colOSes = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each objOS in colOSes
  Wscript.Echo "Computer Name: " & objOS.CSName

  Wscript.Echo "Operating System"
