Table 3-18 shows the brand string that is returned by the first processor in the
Pentium 4 processor family.
Extracting the Maximum Processor Frequency from Brand Strings
Figure 3-9 provides an algorithm which software can use to extract the maximum
processor operating frequency from the processor brand string.
NOTE
When a frequency is given in a brand string, it is the maximum
qualified frequency of the processor, not the frequency at which the
processor is currently running.
