BGInfo not recognising AMD CPU

Question

When I use BGInfo v4.28 to display the CPU on my Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V VM, it shows as "Unknown Family" but is showing correctly in system information:

Can this be added in a future release? It's been like this since way before v4.28 and the processor family isn't exactly new.

Answer 1

You can still use WMI to get those info, write them to a text file and load that inside BGINFO

Computer: HYPERV01

Caption: Intel64 Family 6 Model 62 Stepping 4
Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1620 v2 @ 3.70GHz
NumberOfCores: 4
ThreadCount: 8

Script:
On Error Resume Next

Const wbemFlagReturnImmediately = &h10
Const wbemFlagForwardOnly = &h20

arrComputers = Array("HYPERV01")
For Each strComputer In arrComputers
WScript.Echo
WScript.Echo "=========================================="
WScript.Echo "Computer: " & strComputer
WScript.Echo "=========================================="

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\" & strComputer & "\root\CIMV2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Processor", "WQL", _
wbemFlagReturnImmediately + wbemFlagForwardOnly)

For Each objItem In colItems

  WScript.Echo "Caption: " & objItem.Caption
  WScript.Echo "Name: " & objItem.Name
  WScript.Echo "NumberOfCores: " & objItem.NumberOfCores
  WScript.Echo "ThreadCount: " & objItem.ThreadCount
  WScript.Echo

Next
