A little program that print CPU class

Got this nice executable from GMP package that auto-generated during compilation. Only 39KB :-) but very useful if we just want to retrieve a processor class (instead of ID) from command line easily.

Supported x86 CPU family:
i686
GenuineIntel
pentium
pentiummmx
pentiumpro
pentium2
pentium3
pentiumm
core2
corei
atom
pentium4
AuthenticAMD
k5
k6
k62
k63
geode
athlon
athlon64
CyrixInstead
CentaurHauls
viac3
viac32
nano

A class is differentiated specific CPU features unlike "family" that call pentium pro - pentium 3 as i686 which is a bit vague.

execute without argument and it will print your CPU class name:
