Just grab it from the registry. Also, you could be more fortunate with the results of your searching. This information has been posted many, many, many times before. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->HARDWARE->DESCRIPTION->System->CentralProcessor

Hardware information can only be retrieved through system libraries, not a standard C++ function. For that reason you should mention the OS you're working on. The answer given above works for Windows systems, but not for e. g. Linux or any Mac OS. Generally speaking, the answer you seek should be in the documentation for your system libraries, which should be available at the website of the manufacturer of the OS (for Linux you might want to check out the site of the distributor). So if you're seeking an URL, that's where you should go.
