Ubuntu: Determine CPU speed
by admin on Jun.27, 2010, under Linux (Ubuntu)
If you wish to determine your CPU speed in MHz via the terminal, you might use the following command:
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i Mhz
For me it returned something like :
cpu MHz : 1600.000
cpu MHz : 3334.000
cpu MHz : 1600.000
cpu MHz : 1600.000
cpu MHz : 3334.000
cpu MHz : 3334.000
cpu MHz : 1600.000
cpu MHz : 1600.000
This is because the server seems to have 8 available CPU cores.
In order to obtain additional information from your CPU cores, you can also type the following command :
cat /proc/cpuinfo
It will return further details regarding your CPU.
