Sometimes the difference between prolonging the lifespan of your computer and spending a lot of money to fix or buy another one could just be knowing what is going on inside of it. With CPU-Z, you can know or find out a lot of things on your CPU including processor name and vendor, core stepping and process, processor package, etc.

What’s CPU-Z?

CPU-Z is a diagnostic tool that provides information on your CPU, including: processor name and vendor, core stepping and process, processor package, internal and external clocks, clock multiplier, partial overclock detection, processor features, supported instructions sets, L1 and L2 cache information, location, size, speed, and technology. This version already includes a couple of updates including improved support of Intel Silvermont (Bay Trail), and new validation.

Every time you launch CPU-Z, it automatically scans your computer for changes and displays all the information within a single, tab-based window. This way, users can easily read data regarding the CPU, mainboard, memory or graphics in a matter of seconds and few mouse clicks. Another advantage of this automatic scanning is the fact that one can replace various components, and analyze the way their PC works, thereby coming up with the best configuration.

Any downside?

Users might need to beware of the toolbar installation.
