I am running 10.3 x86_64 on here right now and when I look in /proc/cpuinfo the file is empty. OK, that sounds extremely strange. You should report this in bugzilla
I don't have anything in that file either.....on ALL systems I've check...Intel and AMD 64 bit.

and from another post in thread:
No, it's not so strange. The /proc file system is a bit special, the "files" in there aren't real files, they are generated dynamically on the fly when they are read. Maybe konqueror does something wrong there, I don't know.
Adding on what Anders mentioned, to "read" the file, the safest way to do that is just to cat the file and redirect it into a real file and then try and read it: cat /proc/cpuinfo > ~/Documents/mycpuinfo Then you have a regular file to read. You should see something like: 22:16 alchemy:~> cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 104 model name : AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 800.000 cache size : 512 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy 3dnowprefetch bogomips : 1630.39 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc 100mhzsteps processor : 1 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD <snip 2nd proc info> Another way to get a good look at what your system thinks the processor is, is by running dmidecode: [23:07 alchemy:/home/david] # dmidecode # dmidecode 2.9 SMBIOS 2.4 present. 26 structures occupying 1275 bytes.
