imacken Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 I have the same problem with the Silverlight installer thinking it's a PPC, and Adobe.com offering the PPC version of Shockwave. Thanks for joining in. As we discussed earlier, I think the key to this is why does my 10.5.8 behave perfectly - Silverlight et al - install OK, but my retail Snow with the same boot partition doesn't. Beto2K7: Did you look at my post on the Geekbenck thread? Essentially the question was 'how are you getting 7000 and 10800 for the same Q6600 @ 3 GHz as mine with approx. 4800 and 7500 for integer and floating point?

gawkersucks Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Well here is my screenshot from my 10.6.1 vanilla install also no, CPU Features (real macs dont display them anyway) no processor, name. CPU-x reports correct name. CHUD Processor Pref Pane Reports correct cpu family of Mac Pro 2,1. and so im happy PS. Hey Beerkex'd can you post a link to cpu-i? Ive been looking for it but cant find it. CPU-i - Russian site you need to register to download. http://www.applelife.ru/topic/20179-cpu-i-...F-snow-leopard/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/186926-q6600-cpu-not-recognised-as-intel-causing-app-install-probs/page/2/#findComment-1276983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacProUser83 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks for the link. Unfortunately CPUi.kext made my system incredibly unstable and about 5 degrees hotter so i removed it. @imacken IDK why I get higher scores than you. These are the kexts i have in my extra folder.

jimmyvau Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I have the same problem with my Q6700. CPU-x and sysctl both report the correct cpu, however my About This Mac and System Profiler do not. I also have the same problem with Silverlight. I hope there is a way to get this fixed. So far it hasn't really affected me too much but I had everything working perfectly in Leo and would like the same in Snow.

jasjeet Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 im also having the same problem on my Q6600, About Mac says 3.47Ghz (real 3.4Ghz) and Unknown CPU. Silverlight will not install, same PPC error thing. ...And its 65nm Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/186926-q6600-cpu-not-recognised-as-intel-causing-app-install-probs/page/2/#findComment-1277922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanakorizo Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 silverlight can give error in installation even in real macs (google it) don't trust it run for example geekbench and u'll see that intel processor is reported (without any hack etc) as for other software installation me installed a lot (logic,cs4,finalcut studio,iLife09 etc etc) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/186926-q6600-cpu-not-recognised-as-intel-causing-app-install-probs/page/2/#findComment-1277955 Share on other sites More sharing options...

schnogg Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 This is an annoying problem. I am having it as well. I have the LifeHacker board, the GA-ep45-ud3p running a e8400. I used the lifehacker guide with the pkg installer. I just tried the fakesmc.kext form netkas, but I still get no processor name info in system_profiler SPHardwareDataType -xml Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/186926-q6600-cpu-not-recognised-as-intel-causing-app-install-probs/page/2/#findComment-1278527 Share on other sites More sharing options...

schnogg Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I'm starting to think that this might be fixed in DSDT. I just wish I knew enough about it to debug.

schnogg Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yeah it is quite confusing. I'm really hoping to make some sense of this issue. I don't see why system profiler doesn't just get the id information from the processor? How does the system profiler get this information?

imacken Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Have you used AQU= as string in cpuinjector.kext? Yep. In fact the download already has AQU= so you don't have to do anything. Also, the new 1.1 version supports E/E so you don't have to mess up your vanilla install. All good!
