How do I find out CPU Information such as speed, processor, and cache under Ubuntu Linux operating systems?
You need to use the following command to display all information about the CPU (open terminal and type the following command at bash prompt):
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
Sample outputs:
processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz stepping : 11 cpu MHz : 1596.000 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 4 core id : 0 cpu cores : 4 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm lahf_lm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority bogomips : 4800.18 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: .... .. processor : 3 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz stepping : 11 cpu MHz : 1596.000 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 4 core id : 3 cpu cores : 4 apicid : 3 initial apicid : 3 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm lahf_lm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority bogomips : 4800.30 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management:
To count processor (including cores), enter:
grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo
