Long gone are the days when the processor frequency was written in its name. Processor technologies changed, competition increased, and companies began to hide the frequency, showing the public only some ratings invented by the company itself.
Instructions
Step 1
Nevertheless, behind each conditional rating there is a completely normal clock frequency. There are two main competitors in the processor market now - Intel and AMD. Each of them has its own line of processors and designations. And although manufacturers no longer hide the true processor frequency, if it is not named, it can be found on the manufacturers' websites. https://www.intel.com an
Step 2
If the processor is already installed in the computer, then you can see its frequency when you turn it on. In the event that, when turned on, the computer shows the logo of the motherboard, you must press Tab and the POST screen will appear, on which the processor model is visible. True, not all BIOS versions display its frequency at the same time.
Step 3
You can also find out the processor frequency by right-clicking on "My Computer" and selecting "Properties". In the "General" tab you can see the type of processor and its frequency.
Step 4
However, the most complete information about the processor can be obtained by downloading a small free program CPU-Z from the manufacturer's website https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html. Download the archive and unpack it. The program does not require installation, just run the cpuz.exe file, and you will receive comprehensive data about your processor. Here you can see not only the clock speed and model name, but also the type of core, revision, stepping, supply voltage, technical process by which the processor was produced, the number of cores, supported instructions, bus frequency, cache size, and much more. In addition, the program provides complete data on the motherboard, memory and video card
Step 5
In addition to CPU-Z, information about the processor can also be found using other diagnostic programs such as SiSoft Sandra, Aida, Everest, etc.
