Cpu-Z

Cpu-Z It is a well-known CPU detection software that can perfectly detect various detailed information of the current processor of the computer, allowing users to better understand the processor on their computer. It supports a full range of Intel and AMD brand CPUs, and is powerful and practical. The types of CPUs supported by CPU-Z are quite comprehensive, and the startup speed and detection speed of the software are very fast. In addition, it can also detect information related to the motherboard and memory, including our commonly used memory dual-channel detection function. Of course, for CPU identification, it is best to use the original software. Friends who like Cpu-Z, come to Huajun Software Park to download and experience it!

CPU-Z software introduction

CPU-Z is the most authoritative processor and related system information identification tool. It is small in size, has a simple interface, and starts quickly. It can accurately detect hardware information such as CPU, motherboard, memory, graphics card, SPD, etc., including the name of the manufacturer and processor, core structure and packaging technology, internal and external frequency, and maximum overclocking speed detection. It can also detect the instruction set related to the processor that can be used. You can use it to see which brand, internal frequency, cache and other data often mentioned by players, including information and data that only experts can understand such as SelfSnoop and CMOVccInstruction.

CPU-Z function introduction

*Identify the type and name of the processor.

*Detect the core frequency and multiplication index of the CPU.

*Detect the core voltage of the processor.

* Overclocking possibility detection (indicates whether the CPU is overclocked, but it is not necessarily completely correct).

* Detect the instruction set supported by the processor.

* Detect processor primary and secondary cache information, including cache location, size, speed, etc.

* Detect some information on the motherboard, including BIOS type, chipset type, memory capacity, AGP interface information, etc.

How to use CPU-Z

​ 1. View CPU information through CPU-Z

In the CPU information tab page, the more important values ​​are as follows:

Name: Processor name;

Codename: The processor manufacturer’s internal codename for the processor;

​​Package: Processor interface type;

Process: The production process used to produce this processor, measured in microns, which is 0.13 microns in Figure 1;

Voltage: processor operating voltage;

Instruction set: The instruction set supported by the processor, such as x86-64, which means it can support 64-bit operations.

​ ​ 2. Cache information

You can view the CPU cache information on the "Cache" tab

In the cache information tab page, the more important information is:

The L1 data cache is 64KB and the L1 instruction cache is 64KB;

The L2 cache is 512KB.

3. Motherboard information

You can view motherboard-related information on the "Motherboard" tab

Motherboard information tab page

In the motherboard information tab page, the more important information is:

Manufacturer: The manufacturer information recorded by the motherboard. In this example, the manufacturer is ASUSTek;

Model: The motherboard’s codename in HP, in this case Salmon;

Chipset: The model of the motherboard chipset, in this case SiS 760;

Southbridge: The model of the southbridge chip on the motherboard, in this case SiS 964;

BIOS version: The BIOS version of the motherboard, in this case 3.12;

​ ​ BIOS Date: The release date of this motherboard’s BIOS, in this case April 20, 2005.

4.Memory information

You can view memory speed information in the "Memory" tab

In the memory information tab page, the more important information is:

Type: The currently used memory type, in this case DDR-SDRAM;

Size: the currently used memory capacity, in this case 512MB;

Number of channels: The current working mode of the memory, single channel mode or dual channel mode. In this example it is single channel mode;

Frequency: The current working frequency of the memory chip, in this example it is 200.9MHz.

5.Memory specification information (SPD)

There is a chip on each memory module, which records the speed at which the memory module can run, as well as the memory manufacturer, memory particle number, serial number, etc. This information recorded on the memory is usually called SPD information. By accessing the SPD information, we can learn something about the memory module

Memory slot selection: Here you can choose which memory slot to display the memory used. Displayed to the right of "Slot #1" is the type of memory. In this example, DDR-SDRAM is shown on slot 1. When a slot is selected, all information displayed on this page is information about the memory module in that slot.

FAQ:

Answer:

Processor information: In the "CPU" tab, you can view detailed information about the processor, including name, codename, number of cores, number of threads, main frequency, etc. This information is critical to understanding the performance of your processor.

Cache information: In the "Caches" tab, you can view detailed information about the processor cache, including the size and type of L1, L2, and L3 caches. The size and structure of the cache have a great impact on the performance of the processor.

Motherboard and memory information: In the "Mainboard" and "Memory" tabs, you can view detailed information about the motherboard and memory, including manufacturer, model, chipset, memory type, size, frequency, etc. This information helps you understand the overall system configuration and performance.

Does CPU-Z support other operating systems?

Answer:

Mainly supports Windows: CPU-Z mainly supports Windows operating systems, including Windows 10 and Windows 11. For other operating systems such as macOS and Linux, although there is no direct support for CPU-Z, you can use similar tools to detect hardware information, such as Macs Fan Control on macOS or lshw on Linux.
