Question

When i have the following:

ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_Processor");
ManagementObjectCollection myobject = searcher.Get();
        foreach (ManagementObject item in myobject)
        {
           //Name
           Console.WriteLine(item["Name"].ToString());
        }

Is this going through each Physical Processor and obtaining the Name for that particular processor? I haven’t seen an instance were the foreach() iterates move than once… I’ve worked with Win32_Processor, Win32_BIOS, Win32_ComputerSystem, so on..

In this case, if the server has more than 1 physical processor, would this for-each have more than one iteration? How does it work?

Answer 1

Yes, it is true, by using the query:

SELECT * FROM Win32_Processor

there is an iteration per physical processor. You might be interested to take a look at the DeviceId, SocketDesignation and NumberOfCores properties.
