Can anyone recommend a way to check a linux server for whether it's running on a Haswell CPU ?

I'm guessing perhaps checking /proc/cpuinfo for the XEON version v3, or looking for flags 'hle|rtm|tsx' would work - but something more definitive would help with mass-auditing.

v3 in cpuinfo should do it

Do you know if this also stands for non-XEONs ?
