my suggestion would be a stanza like:i think these are still popular enough ?

This may be useful.

@uxinn: i think this should be corrected so that it figures the os-bit from /proc/cpuinfo (if cpu_flags contain lm -- long mode).

Normally, it is not a good idea to revive threads that are this old.

yeah Pixel you should checkout the original posting date. someone rezzed this one when I said it was an old post a two years ago :P its officially a zombie

Hi
Does that tell you the actual speed the chip is running at when it's under clocked ?
The reason I want to know is because my link station live (NAS) runs slower than the pro version but the hardware is the same.
I just want to know if it's under clocked. If not then I think it can only be firmware or perhaps some other hardware bottleneck.

Some zombies just won't die - see my previous post.

Sorry for the resurrection. I don't expect any replies. But I wanted to thank everyone for a very interesting thread as well as the useful info. I'm still some what new to Linux. Not to computers, or command line. Just to Linux. Which I LOVE. And this thread was amusing. Someone was thoughtful enough to remind everyone to backup before taking advice. Brilliant! No one wants to admit it but yes, even the most intelligent has forgotten once or twice and kicked him/herself!

I found the uname command useful because I really wasn't sure how many bits my processor was. I can't believe I forgot. You think you'll remember these things but I don't know how many computer parts I have laying around here and which ones I'm actually using any more. lol

But I did find [/proc/cpuinfo] useful too. Now I am sure which processor it is as well. Or at least more sure. Narrows it down anyway.

So thank you all so very much for re-resurrecting this zombie and letting me find this thread!!! I cannot contribute but I sure do appreciate it!! I hope it's here later in case I forget or lose my notes.

Initially some users in this post wanted a way in linux to get get the CPU ID.
After many years I notice that no one replied.
So is there any mean in linux to get the CPU ID?
I mean, for example there are several Intel pentium 4 models, all identified by a unique number e.g. 620, 630, 631, 640, 641, 650, 651, 660.
If one tries cpuz in windows he will get this info straight forward whereas /proc/cpuinfo in linux does not contain it.

Hi,

This is my first post on LQ.

Thanks to Uxinn. Ading my 2 cents. Below is modified script to get valid values for cores, cpus and number of cores per cpu.


#!/bin/bash

#CPU_COUNT=`grep physical\ id /proc/cpuinfo |sort -u|wc -l`
CORE_COUNT=`grep core\ id /proc/cpuinfo |wc -l`
CORE_PER_CPU=`grep cpu\ cores /proc/cpuinfo |sort -u|awk '{print $4}'`
CPU_COUNT=`expr $CORE_COUNT / $CORE_PER_CPU`
CPU_MODEL=
CPU_VENDOR=`grep vendor_id /proc/cpuinfo|awk '{print $3}'|sort -u`
CPU_FREQ=`cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "cpu MHz" | sort -u|sed 's/[^0-9\.]//g'`
OS_BIT=`uname -m`
KERNEL_VERSION=`uname -rsv`


MEMORY_KB=`grep MemTotal: /proc/meminfo|awk '{ print $2 }'`
MEMORY_MB=`echo $MEMORY_KB / 1024`"M"

if [ $OS_BIT == 'x86_64' ]; then
OS_BIT="64bit"
else
OS_BIT="32bit"
fi

if [ $CPU_COUNT == 0 ]; then
CPU_COUNT=1
CORE_COUNT=1
fi

if [ $CPU_VENDOR == 'GenuineIntel' ]; then
CPU_VENDOR="Intel"
CPU_TYPE=`grep model\ name /proc/cpuinfo|sort -u|awk '{print $5" "$7 $8 $9}'`
elif [ $CPU_VENDOR == 'AuthenticAMD' ]; then
CPU_VENDOR="AMD"
CPU_TYPE=`grep model\ name /proc/cpuinfo|sort -u|awk '{print $4 " " $5 " " $7}'`
fi


echo "CORE_COUNT: " $CORE_COUNT
echo "CPU COUNT: " $CPU_COUNT
echo "CORE PER CPU: " $CORE_PER_CPU
echo "CPU VENDOR: " $CPU_VENDOR
echo "CPU Type: " $CPU_TYPE
echo "Platform: " $OS_BIT
echo "Kernel Version: " $KERNEL_VERSION

Here is what the OP was/is/will be looking for:

CPUID is probably available for your distribution.

I suppose this bash script could be helpful for this task.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sysinforeport

detects number of cpu's/cores, cpu model, memory info, kernel info,releae info, bios info.
