How to get processer (CPU) details in Linux
Use the command # cat /proc/cpuinfo to see the processor details in linux.
processor— Provides each processor with an identifying number. On systems that have one processor, only a0is present.cpu family— Authoritatively identifies the type of processor in the system. For an Intel-based system, place the number in front of “86” to determine the value. This is particularly helpful for those attempting to identify the architecture of an older system such as a 586, 486, or 386. Because some RPM packages are compiled for each of these particular architectures, this value also helps users determine which packages to install.model name— Displays the common name of the processor, including its project name.cpu MHz— Shows the precise speed in megahertz for the processor to the thousandths decimal place.cache size— Displays the amount of level 2 memory cache available to the processor.siblings— Displays the number of sibling CPUs on the same physical CPU for architectures which use hyper-threading.flags— Defines a number of different qualities about the processor, such as the presence of a floating point unit (FPU) and the ability to process MMX instructions.
