"Dell Command | Update" shows incorrect CPU in System Information?
Apologies if this is in the wrong section, but it was the closest match I could find. Some searching indicates that the Dell Command set of applications is intended for enterprise-level management of company PCs, but I have somehow ended up with it on my personal notebook (Latitude E6540).
In trying to decide whether I need both "Dell Command | Update v 4.1.0" and SupportAssist (and I seem to also have both "Dell SupportAssist" and plain "SupportAssist" installed), I noticed that Command | Update lists "Intel Xeon" in it's System Information summary. That seems quite different from the Intel Core i7-4810MQ that is installed.
Highlights from the XML export:
Driver
Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor E3 - 1200 v3/4th Gen Core processor DRAM Controller - 0C04
10.1.18121.8164
0C04
Driver
Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor E3 - 1200 v3/4th Gen Core processor PCI Express x16 Controller - 0C01
10.1.18121.8164
0C01
I can also post the full output, if needed.
So is this a problem? Or are these just generic drivers that covers a range of CPUs (and is the best option available)?
My other question would be whether I should keep Dell Command | Update, or just remove it and use SupportAssist exclusively. Or the opposite?
Finally, if SupportAssist is the one to keep - which one of the two versions? (Or just remove and reinstall periodically when needed?) I really dislike active services bloat.
- Dell SupportAssist v3.10.4.18
- SupportAssist 3.10.7.0
