CPU-Z (freeware) can give you this information.
Open up "System Information" by
Start Menu > Accessories > System Tools > System Information
Then once in "System Information" open:
System Information > System Summary
On the right will be the "Processor", this will give you the full description of your CPU.
Windows Key + R will open the run command
Type CMD
and press
Type wmic CPU get NAME
and enter
For me it gives :
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU **920** @ 2.67GHz
Where the 920 is what I think your looking for...
If its not, if you just type wmic CPU
and press enter it will give you all the information about the processor in a hard to read fashion...
But then you can type wmic CPU get (whatever entry interests you)
to get just that one.
Good Luck
You can check the Name
Property of the Win32_Processor
WMI class
Try this C# sample
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Management;
using System.Text;
namespace GetWMI_Info
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
string ComputerName = "localhost";
ManagementScope Scope;
Scope = new ManagementScope(String.Format("\\\\{0}\\root\\CIMV2", ComputerName), null);
Scope.Connect();
ObjectQuery Query = new ObjectQuery("SELECT Name FROM Win32_Processor");
ManagementObjectSearcher Searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(Scope, Query);
foreach (ManagementObject WmiObject in Searcher.Get())
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}",WmiObject["Name"]);
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Exception {0} Trace {1}",e.Message,e.StackTrace));
}
Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to exit");
Console.Read();
}
}
}
The easiest way is just to open "Start" -> "Computer" -> "System Properties"
open Windows PowerShell, type the following:
> gwmi -query "SELECT Name FROM Win32_Processor"
Name : Intel (R) Cor.....i7-2670QM CPU @2.20GHz
Use the 'wmic' tool on the shell:
>wmic cpu get name
Name
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz
Please note: In some relatively rare case you might see access restrictions to those value.
