How can I determine what processor I have using MATLAB?

Is there any way I can determine what processor is in my machine using only MATLAB with no other software or tools?

You can use the attached `getProcessorInfo.m` function determine processor information about your computer. This function will return a structure that looks like the following:

cpuModel: "AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U with Radeon Graphics"
CPUID: "AMD64 Family 25 Model 80 Stepping 0"
ucode: "0A500014"
biosVersion: "R1MET62W (1.32 )"

And includes the specific processor and other important information about your machine. This function uses native system commands and does not require any other software to run.

On Mac, this code will fail on the

    [~, systemInfo] = system('lscpu');

call.

Note: Mac CPU can be PowerPC (for sufficiently old versions of MATLAB), or Intel chip (mostly Core series but sometimes Xeon), or Apple M* series processors.
