Looks unmaintained. Not sure, as current release seems undated on website, but prev release (29) was from 2011.
Main detail: shows my 7 yr old server cpu as:
x86info
x86info vVERSION Found 12 identical CPUs Extended Family: 0 Extended Model: 2 Family: 6 Model: 44 Stepping: 2 Type: 0 (Original OEM) CPU Model (x86info's best guess): Unknown model. Processor name string (BIOS programmed): Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5660 @ 2.80GHz Total processor threads: 12 This system has 2 tri-core processors with hyper-threading (2 threads per core) running at an estimated 2.80GHz
2.8 is the max MHz, (1.6 is low), but..a "tri-core processor"...really? did they make such things?
If you look below 6 cores per socket with hyperthreading would equate to 3 physical cores per socket so both tools give the same info.
Anyway, I think lscpu more than replaces the above info:
Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 12 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-11 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 6 Socket(s): 2 NUMA node(s): 2 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 44 Model name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5660 @ 2.80GHz Stepping: 2 CPU MHz: 1597.075 CPU max MHz: 2794.0000 CPU min MHz: 1596.0000 BogoMIPS: 5586.28 Virtualization: VT-x L1d cache: 32K L1i cache: 32K L2 cache: 256K L3 cache: 12288K NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0,2,4,6,8,10 NUMA node1 CPU(s): 1,3,5,7,9,11
on my i7 both tools still output meaningful info, i'm betting some people have scripts around that parse parts of its info so while its still getting the core info right i'd be reluctant to drop it unless the current maintainer decides to. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
