Linux Find Out CPU Architecture Information

How do I find out my CPU architecture information under Linux operating systems?

You can use /proc/cpuinfo file or use the lscpu command to get info about CPU architecture. It will display information like:

• Number of CPUs
• Threads
• Cores
• Sockets
• NUMA nodes
• Information about CPU caches,
• CPU family, model and stepping.
• in human-readable format. Alternatively, it can print out in parsable
• format including how different caches are shared by different CPUs,
• which can also be fed to other programs.

Open a terminal and type the following command:
$ less /proc/cpuinfo
OR
$ lscpu
Sample outputs:
