• Compile in Visual Studio command prompt with:

C:\Users\<user_name>\source\repos>csc.exe /t:exe /out:CPUID.exe CPUID.cs /unsafe

• Result:

CPUID0: 47, 65, 6E, 75, 69, 6E, 65, 49, 6E, 74, 65, 6C
CPUID0: GenuineIntel
CPUID1: 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00

• For 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz

• On a Mac, syntax is similar, only C sharp mono Compiler is just named csc:

csc /target:exe /out:CPUID.exe CPUID.cs /unsafe

• Then to run it with mono:

mono CPUID.exe

x86 Instruction Set Reference

For current VMware product releases, you can modify CPUID leaves 80000002 - 80000004 with the following configuration option:
cpuid.brandstring = "whatever you want"
For example:

cpuid.brandstring = "Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 v3 @ 3.50GHz"

However, if you do not typically mask the particular CPUID function you are interested in, then you will also need the option:

monitor_control.enable_fullcpuid = TRUE

As for extracting the results, you can write a program to query the CPUID function(s) of interest, or you can just look in the vmware.log file of any VM. All current VMware hypervisors log all CPUID information for both the host and the guest

To get a CPUID using the WMIC command, you can do the following:
Open the Command Prompt:
Type wmic
Type cpu get processorid
The last five digits of the number displayed represent the CPUID
CPUID Explorer

Manipulating Guest CPUID

• Use web-cpuid to visualize the current cpu-id.
• There is a cpuid_dump.linq file for use in LinqPad. Use CNTRL+SHIFT+Y to Enable/Disable My Extensions there for successful run if needed.
• After retrieving the CPUID visualize it here, by pasting/loading the values
