Ubuntu: Determine CPU speed

by 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.
