When this identifier shows up in your Windows Device Manager or Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) crash logs, it means the operating system is interacting with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) driver for your specific Intel CPU.
Let’s dissect the keyword into its semantic tokens:
Restart your machine. This helps the OS correctly identify the ACPI power management features of your Model 58 CPU. Is It Still Relevant Today? acpi genuineintel---intel64-family-6-model-58
: If your system crashes, the error log often prints the processor ID to help developers know exactly which hardware was running at the time of the fault. Key Legacy Features
This is the precise technical "signature" for Intel’s 3rd Generation Core architecture, better known as Ivy Bridge . Why This Identifier Appears When this identifier shows up in your Windows
to tell your operating system exactly what kind of brain your computer has. Here is the breakdown: GenuineIntel : Confirms the processor was manufactured by Intel.
Introduced as the "Tick" phase in Intel's classic "Tick-Tock" manufacturing paradigm, Model 58 miniaturized the prior 32nm Sandy Bridge architecture to a 22nm die size. This specific family introduced several technical breakthroughs. Is It Still Relevant Today
Newer CPUs (Skylake, Family 6 Model 94; Cascade Lake, Model 85; Alder Lake, Model 151) produce similar strings, e.g.:
If you need to or patch DSDT for this exact CPU, let me know and I can provide specific ASL code or kernel module snippets.
