What is CPU Info?
CPU Info is a lightweight system utility program that shows detailed technical information about a computer's central processing unit (CPU). It provides an easy way to see key details and specifications for your CPU without having to dig through technical documentation or BIOS settings.
When launched, CPU Info detects the CPU in your system and displays information such as:
- Manufacturer and model name (e.g Intel Core i7-7700K)
- Architecture (x86, x64)
- Number of cores and threads
- Clock speeds for the base clock and turbo/boost speeds
- Socket type and supported instructions sets like MMX, SSE, AVX
- Amount of cache memory for each level (L1, L2, L3)
- Manufacturing process node (e.g. 14nm)
The program has a simple, no-frills interface that presents all this technical data in a clear and easy-to-read format. All the key specs are displayed on a single scrollable page. CPU Info is useful for confirming the exact CPU in your system or verifying upgrades and changes.
As it requires no installation, CPU Info can be run as a portable app from external drives. It works on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. The small executable has very little impact on system resources. Overall, CPU Info is a handy utility for both average and power users to quickly check complete CPU details.
