To locate information related to your CPU, use these commands:
echo $(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name' | sed -e 's/.*: //' | uniq) = $COUNT
awk '/model name/ {ORS=""; count++; if ( count == 1 ) print $0; } END { print " : " count "\n" }' /proc/cpuinfo
ls /sys/devices/system/cpu
dmidecode | less
cat /proc/cpuinfo
hwinfo
To install hwinfo please see this post;
lshw

Note: On some Intel processors, the number of cores will will appear to be incorrect when a
cat /proc/cpuinfo
is ran. It shows 16 processors, all:
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5520 @ 2.27GHz
If you look at the number of reported cores (16) vs. the number of physical core IDs in the individual core report (Line 9);
physical id : 0
physical id : 1
you can tell whether the reported units represent hyperthreading.
Also there is a flag listed as ‘ht’ on line 18 of the core report
which will report if hyperthreading is enabled on the processor.
dmidecode | less
will also give a more accurate view.
