Link error when using the __cpuid() in <intrin.h>?

The error says:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol WinCPUID_Init referenced in function 
"public: static void __cdecl CCapturer::GetCPUVendorId(void)" 
 (?GetCPUVendorId@CCapturer@@SAXXZ)

but it doesn't point out which lib I should add in MSDN _cpuid

How to solve it ?
