The cool thing about neofetch is besides being able to identify the System server / desktop hardware parameters, it gives some basic info about number of packages installed on the system, memory free and in use, used kernel and exact type of System (be it Dell PowerEdge Model XX, IBM eSeries Model / HP Proliant Model etc.

The next one worthy to install and check is neofetch (a cross-platform and easy-to-use system informationĬommand line script that collects your Linux system information and display it on the terminal next to an image, it could be your distributions logo or any ascii art of your choice.) To install and run it in Debian / Ubuntu / Mint Linux etc.: I remember cpuinfo has been there since the very beginning on almost all Linux distributions's repository, nowadays its popularity of the days when the kings on the Linux OS server scenes were Slackware, Caldera OpenLinux and Redhat 6.0 Linux and Debian 3.0 declined but still for scripting purposes it is handy small proggie.

Perhaps the most basic tool to give you a brief information about your Processor type (model) number of Cores and Logical Processors is cpuinfo As comments suggest, the sysctl function can be used to identify the CPU type (but not deliver the 'Apple A12Z Bionic' text I am seeking).Earlier I've wrote extensive article on how to get hardware information on Linux using tools such as dmidecode, hardinfo, lshw, hwinfo, x86info and biosdecode but there are few other hardware reporting tools for Linux worthy to mention that has been there for historical reasons such as cpuinfo as we as some new shiny ones such as neofetch (a terminal / console hardware report tool as well the CPU-X and I-Nex which is Linux equivalent to the all known almost standard for Windows hardware detection CPU-Z worthy to say few words about.
