There are a few ways to see the processor model number/speed on Linux. The easiest way is to use the grep command. To search for “processor model number” in a file, type: grep “processor model number” filename The grep command will return a list of all the lines that contain the word “processor model number.” You can then use this list to find the line that contains the speed of your processor. To do this, type: grep “processor model number” filename | sed -i ’s/^.*$/\1/'
Simply type in the following command at the prompt:
And then you’ll see a big long list of all the processor in the system, along with all the information about them, which should look something like this:
You’ll see in this example that we’re running on an Intel Xeon L5520 running at 2.27GHz… and if we had shown the full example you’d see that there are actually 4 cores on the machine.
