/proc/cpuinfo Explained
Contains information about the processor, including its type, speed, and available features
The file /proc/cpuinfo
is a virtual file in the Linux operating system that provides information about the system's central processing unit (CPU) architecture, hardware and
configuration. This file contains details such as the processor model, the number of cores, clock speed, cache size, and other relevant information about the CPU. It can be
accessed through a terminal with the command cat /proc/cpuinfo
. The information in this file is generated dynamically and is based on the current state of
the system, making it an effective way to gather information about the system's CPU without having to rely on external utilities or commands.
