Fails to automatically detect Intel Xeon E7-4870

[zchothia]

Hello,

Similar to issue #90, here are the details of another recent Intel processor which is not automatically detected. Output of the cpuid command is listed here, if additional details are necessary.

Regards,

I forgot to mention, I tried this with the latest commit from develop (74306b5).

Hi Zaheer,

I added this CPU detection.
Please test it on develop branch.

Thanks

Excellent, it now works fine so this issue can be closed.

I should remark that NUM_CORES is incorrectly detected as 1, but I suspect that may be due to the combination of a recent processor and outdated library/kernel:
