CPUydet

CPUydet is a command-line utility designed to provide detailed information about a computer's central processing unit (CPU). It aims to present a comprehensive overview of the CPU's specifications and capabilities in a human-readable format. The tool typically retrieves data directly from the system's hardware or operating system interfaces, offering insights into various CPU attributes.

Key information that CPUydet commonly displays includes the CPU's manufacturer and model name, the number of physical cores and logical processors, clock speeds (both current and maximum), and cache sizes (L1, L2, and L3). It may also report on supported instruction sets, such as SSE, AVX, and others, which indicate the types of operations the CPU can perform. Furthermore, CPUydet can often provide details about the CPU's architecture, the manufacturing process technology (e.g., nanometers), and thermal design power (TDP).

The utility is particularly useful for system administrators, hardware enthusiasts, and software developers who need to understand the exact specifications of the CPU for performance tuning, compatibility checks, or software optimization. By offering a consolidated view of these details, CPUydet simplifies the process of gathering critical CPU data without requiring manual inspection of system hardware or complex registry edits. Its command-line nature makes it suitable for scripting and automation purposes.
