Dear CPU Scorekeeper

Is there a Windows or DOS command that will tell me what CPU is in my computer?
- - Mark, August 1999

See the questionCPU Scorekeeper Responds

There are no Windows or DOS commands that can positively identify the CPU in your computer.

The Windows 'System.Properties' dialog (available by right-clicking the 'My Computer' desktop icon) may provide some rudimentary information about your processor. But for real detail, you need software.

A good utility for this purpose is WCPUID, available free from
H.Oda's Homepage

WCPUID provides details such as clock speed, cache sizes, and numerous other CPU characteristics.

For more good CPU software, check out UGeek's CPU software page.
