9 Commands to Check CPU Information on Linux

The cpu information includes details about the processor, like the architecture, vendor name, model, number of cores, speed of each core etc.

There are quite a few commands on linux to get those details about the cpu.

In this post we shall take a look at some of the commonly used commands that can be used to get details about the cpu.

1. /proc/cpuinfo

The /proc/cpuinfo file contains details about individual cpu cores.
Output its contents with less or cat.

$ less /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 23 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz stepping : 10 microcode : 0xa07 cpu MHz : 1998.000 cache size : 2048 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 4 core id : 0 cpu cores : 4 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 13 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 nopl aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm sse4_1 xsave lahf_lm dtherm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority bogomips : 5303.14 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management:

Every processor or core is listed separately the various details about speed, cache size and model name are included in the description.

To count the number of processing units use grep with wc

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l 4
The number of processors shown by /proc/cpuinfo might not be the actual number of cores on the processor. For example a processor with 2 cores and hyperthreading would be reported as a processor with 4 cores.

To get the actual number of cores, check the core id for unique values

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'core id' core id : 0 core id : 2 core id : 1 core id : 3

So there are 4 different core ids. This indicates that there are 4 actual cores.

2. lscpu — display information about the CPU architecture

lscpu is a small and quick command that does not need any options. It would simply print the cpu hardware details in a user-friendly format.

$ lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 4 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 4 Socket(s): 1 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 23 Stepping: 10 CPU MHz: 1998.000 BogoMIPS: 5303.14 Virtualization: VT-x L1d cache: 32K L1i cache: 32K L2 cache: 2048K NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-3

3. hardinfo

Hardinfo is a gtk based gui tool that generates reports about various hardware components. But it can also run from the command line only if there is no gui display available.

It would produce a large report about many hardware parts, by reading files from the /proc directory. The cpu information is towards the beginning of the report. The report can also be written to a text file.

Hardinfo also performs a few benchmark tests taking a few minutes before the report is displayed.

4. lshw

The lshw command can display limited information about the cpu. lshw by default shows information about various hardware parts, and the ‘-class’ option can be used to pickup information about a specific hardware part.

$ sudo lshw -class processor *-cpu description: CPU product: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz vendor: Intel Corp. physical id: 0 bus info: [email protected] version: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz slot: LGA 775 size: 1998MHz capacity: 4GHz width: 64 bits clock: 333MHz capabilities: fpu fpu_exception wp 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 x86-64 constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm sse4_1 xsave lahf_lm dtherm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority cpufreq

The vendor, model and speed of the processor are being shown correctly. However it is not possible to deduce the number of cores on the processor from the above output.

5. nproc

The nproc command just prints out the number of processing units available. Note that the number of processing units might not always be the same as number of cores.

6. dmidecode

The dmidecode command displays some information about the cpu, which includes the socket type, vendor name and various flags.

$ sudo dmidecode -t 4 # dmidecode 2.12 SMBIOS 2.4 present. Handle 0x0000, DMI type 4, 35 bytes Processor Information Socket Designation: LGA 775 Type: Central Processor Family: Pentium D Manufacturer: Intel(R) Corporation ID: 7A 06 01 00 FF FB EB BF Signature: Type 0, Family 6, Model 23, Stepping 10 Flags: FPU (Floating-point unit on-chip) VME (Virtual mode extension) DE (Debugging extension) PSE (Page size extension) TSC (Time stamp counter) MSR (Model specific registers) PAE (Physical address extension) MCE (Machine check exception) CX8 (CMPXCHG8 instruction supported) APIC (On-chip APIC hardware supported) SEP (Fast system call) MTRR (Memory type range registers) PGE (Page global enable) MCA (Machine check architecture) CMOV (Conditional move instruction supported) PAT (Page attribute table) PSE-36 (36-bit page size extension) CLFSH (CLFLUSH instruction supported) DS (Debug store) ACPI (ACPI supported) MMX (MMX technology supported) FXSR (FXSAVE and FXSTOR instructions supported) SSE (Streaming SIMD extensions) SSE2 (Streaming SIMD extensions 2) SS (Self-snoop) HTT (Multi-threading) TM (Thermal monitor supported) PBE (Pending break enabled) Version: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz Voltage: 1.6 V External Clock: 333 MHz Max Speed: 4000 MHz Current Speed: 2666 MHz Status: Populated, Enabled Upgrade: Socket LGA775 L1 Cache Handle: 0x0003 L2 Cache Handle: 0x0001 L3 Cache Handle: Not Provided Serial Number: Not Specified Asset Tag: Not Specified Part Number: Not Specified

8. inxi

Inxi is a script that uses other programs to generate a well structured easy to read report about various hardware components on the system. Check out the full tutorial on inxi.

Print out cpu/processor related information

$ inxi -C CPU: Quad core Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q8400 (-MCP-) cache: 2048 KB flags: (lm nx sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 ssse3 vmx) Clock Speeds: 1: 1998.00 MHz 2: 1998.00 MHz 3: 1998.00 MHz 4: 1998.00 MHz

9. Hwinfo

The hwinfo command is a hardware information program that can be used to collect details about various hardware components on a Linux system.

It also displays information about the processor. Here is a quick example:

$ hwinfo --short --cpu cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz, 2275 MHz Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz, 2262 MHz Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz, 2058 MHz Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz, 2133 MHz $

If you don’t use the «—short» option it will display much more information about each cpu core like architecture and processor features.

Conclusion

Those were some of the commands to check CPU information on Linux based systems like Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, CentOS etc.

Most of the commands are command line based and show text output. For a GUI interface use the program called Hardinfo.

It shows hardware details about various components in a easy to use GUI interface.
