23913A/0-November 2000 Preliminary Information Embedded AMD-K6™ Processors BIOS Design Guide Extended Functions Function 8000_0000h - Largest Extended Function Input Value Input: EAX = 8000_0000h Output: EAX = Largest function input value recognized by the CPUID instruction EBX = Reserved ECX = Reserved EDX = Reserved Function 8000_0000h returns a value in the EAX register that indicates the largest extended function value recognized by the processor. Function 8000_0001h - AMD Processor Signature and Extended Feature Flags Input: EAX = 8000_0001h Output: EAX = AMD Processor Signature EBX = Reserved ECX = Reserved EDX = Extended Feature Flags Function 8000_0001h returns two values - the AMD Processor Signature and the Extended Feature Flags. The AMD processor signature is returned in the EAX register and identifies the specific processor by providing information regarding its type - generation/family, model, and revision (stepping). The information is formatted as follows: s EAX[3-0] Stepping ID s EAX[7-4] Model s EAX[11-8] Generation/Family s EAX[31-12] Reserved The extended feature flags are returned in the EDX register and indicate the presence of specific features found in AMD processors. In most cases, a '1' indicates the feature is present, and a '0' indicates the feature is not present. Table 32 on page 76 contains a list of the currently defined extended feature flags for the AMD-K6 family of processors. Reserved bits will be used for new features as they are added. Appendix A 75
