Efficient Steps to Find CPU Information on Centos 7

In this article, we will teach you how to find CPU Information on Centos 7. The central processing unit (CPU) in your server, also referred to simply as the processor, interprets and executes instructions, processes data, and performs tasks like serving web pages, running database queries, and executing other program and computing commands.

You can follow the guide steps provided by the Orcacore team to Find CPU Information on Centos 7.

Steps To Find CPU Information on Centos 7

To complete this guide, you must log into your server as a root user or a non-root user with sudo privileges. To do this, you can follow our article, the Initial Server Setup with Centos 7.

Now follow the steps below to find CPU Information on Centos 7.

Display CPU Architecture of Centos 7

To display the CPU architecture of your Centos 7, you can use the following command:

lscpu

In your output, you will see something similar to this:

Also, you can use another command to find CPU information on Centos 7:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

List Physical CPU on Centos 7

To see how many physical CPUs are in your Centos 7, you can use the following command:

grep physical.id /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u | wc -l

Display the Number of Cores per CPU for Centos

Next, to list the number of cores per CPU for Centos 7, you can run the following command:

grep cpu.cores /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u

List Logical Processors on Centos 7

Then, you can display the number of logical processors for Centos 7 with the command below:

grep processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l

Another way is to use the command below:

dmidecode -t4

Check CPU Sockets on Centos 7

Also, you can find out the number of CPU sockets on your Centos 7 with the following command:

grep physical.id /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u | wc -l

Or, you can use the lscpu command:

lscpu | grep -i "socket(s)"

Conclusion

At this point, you learn to easily find your CPU info on your Centos 7 server. With tools like lscpu, /proc/cpuinfo, and nproc, you can easily gather detailed hardware data. These commands provide all the information you need, from the number of cores to CPU architecture. Understanding your system’s CPU specifications can help you optimize its use.
