Embedded Write-Back Enhanced IntelDX4 Processor
27
Vendor ID String
- When the parameter passed in EAX is 0 (zero), the register values returned upon
instruction execution are shown in the following table.
The values in EBX, EDX and ECX indicate an Intel processor. When taken in the proper order, they decode to
the string “
GenuineIntel
.”
The state of the WB/WT# input pin is sampled by the processor on the falling edge of the RESET signal. If
WB/WT# is LOW, the processor is configured to operate in Write-Through/Standard Bus mode. If HIGH, it is
configured to operate in Write-Back/Enhanced Bus mode. The value of the “Model” field of the processor
signature register depends on the bus mode for which the processor is configured.

instruction execution are:
