For those not familiar with the Windows utility CPU-Z, see:
Just open a terminal and type:

This will shed some light on the gui in question... in all seriousness this is an excellent example of one of the many woes of windoze... what should be readily accessible through a built-in utility must be provided (at outrageous cost) by some third party proprietary, uh, gui (cute little text fields on a boring grey windoze background, probably with background music). Never mind that the Linux kernel places the information (for free) in the proc directory for anyone to browse in perfectly human readable form (common text like all other proc output from the kernel) without additional cost or license... or installation, or hassle. What some folks continue to ask is rather annoying... "Is there anything to make Linux look and behave as rediculously as windoze?" (this probably isn't constructive, but oh well) (it doesn't matter, cause it isn't human readable) ;-)) -- Kind regards, M Harris <><
