CPU serial number

Question

How do I obtain the serial number of the CPU in a PC?

Answer 1

I guess quite a few compiler do offer some wrapper or the like around the mentioned command. Here's an example

#include 
#include 
#include 

_CPUID cpuinfo;
int main(void) {
_cpuid(&cpuinfo);
printf("Vendor: %s\n", cpuinfo.Vendor);
return 0;
}

Output:

Vendor: GenuineIntel
