Where can I find more information about my CPU? Model name : Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 1.60GHz Filtering the output of this file for ‘model name’ gives you an exact match: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep ‘model name’ So much in fact that it’s difficult to find what you’re looking for. You can take a look at the /proc/cpuinfo file which holds a plethora of information about your system’s CPU. To find that out, head over to Applications – Utilities – Terminal and enter the following command: sysctl -n _string It will tell you what CPU type you’re using, but not the exact model number. On the Mac you won’t get a very accurate result from the Apple Icon – About this Mac. Windows also gives you an accurate result via the GUI: open Windows Explorer and head over to Computer – Properties: Thanks to Jonathan Next of Windows for this tip!
Here’s how to find out the string you need for further investigation.įrom the command line, execute the wmic command with the following parameters: wmic cpu get name
For example, you may need to know if you’re dealing with a dual core or quad core system, or a 32/64 bit system.
It’s often necessary to know what the exact type of CPU that’s installed on your system.
