Il existe un outil appelé cpuid que l'on peut utiliser pour rechercher des informations beaucoup plus détaillées que celles généralement présentes dans lshw ou /proc/cpuinfo . Sur mon système Fedora 19, j'ai pu installer le package avec la commande suivante :
$ sudo yum install cpuid
Une fois installé, cpuid est un trésor de détails sur le processeur sous-jacent.
Plusieurs versions
Il existe au moins 2 versions d'un outil appelé cpuid . Sur Debian/Ubuntu :
$ dpkg -p cpuid
Package: cpuid
Priority: optional
Section: admin
Installed-Size: 68
Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <[email protected]>
Architecture: amd64
Version: 3.3-9
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5-0ubuntu1)
Size: 11044
Description: Intel and AMD x86 CPUID display program
This program displays the vendor ID, the processor specific features,
the processor name string, different kinds of instruction set
extensions present, L1/L2 Cache information, and so on for the
processor on which it is running.

Summary : Dumps information about the CPU(s)
Description :
cpuid dumps detailed information about x86 CPU(s) gathered from the CPUID
instruction, and also determines the exact model of CPU(s). It supports Intel,
AMD, and VIA CPUs, as well as older Transmeta, Cyrix, UMC, NexGen, and Rise
CPUs.
REMARQUE : La sortie ci-dessous se concentrera exclusivement sur l'implémentation de cpuid par Todd Allen , c'est-à-dire le pack Fedora.
Exemple
La section supérieure est assez standard.
$ cpuid -1 | less
CPU:
vendor_id = "GenuineIntel"
version information (1/eax):
processor type = primary processor (0)

stepping id = 0x5 (5)
extended family = 0x0 (0)
extended model = 0x2 (2)
(simple synth) = Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 (Clarkdale K0) / Pentium U5000 Mobile / Pentium P4505 / U3405 / Celeron Mobile P4000 / U3000 (Arrandale K0), 32nm

Il vous montrera des détails sur la structure de votre cache :
cache and TLB information (2):
0x5a: data TLB: 2M/4M pages, 4-way, 32 entries
0x03: data TLB: 4K pages, 4-way, 64 entries
0x55: instruction TLB: 2M/4M pages, fully, 7 entries
0xdd: L3 cache: 3M, 12-way, 64 byte lines
0xb2: instruction TLB: 4K, 4-way, 64 entries
