How to show CPU information in Linux - Number of CPUs, speed ...

Have you ever had the need to see the features of your processor under Linux environment and have not found a way to do it, well, in the Linux file system directory find proc (/proc) which is a pseudo-system files used as an interface to kernel data structures or core system.

How to show CPU information

For information on our CPU is needed to use the cpuinfo file that is under the proc directory (/proc/cpuinfo). This file contains information such as CPU manufacturer, family, model, model name easily identifiable by its trade name, clock speed, cache size, core, flags, among other information.

To view the information referred to simply run the following command:

$ less /proc/cpuinfo

And we will show some information similar to the following (not necessarily equal to that of your computer).

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
