CPU-Z Download
The extensive number of computer hardware devices of various types make it difficult to know everything about the topic. Fortunately, there are some programs that collect extremely detailed data in a snap, presenting it to the user in a readable, plain way.
CPU-Z is probably the best, the most effective and popular application allowing its users to identify the hardware installed in their computer, such as the CPU, chipsets and RAM memory. It should be kept in mind that these are not just the rudimentary pieces of information, but rather very detailed data including the code name of the processor, the types of connections used in it, the technological methods used to make it or its standard tension.
Apart from these facts, we can also easily find out the clock rate of a CPU, a CPU multiplier and the size of cache. With CPU-Z it is also possible to get the information about the motherboard – apart from the model and the manufacturer, the program displays detailed data about the chipset, the version and model of BIOS, etc, etc. The program informs the users about their RAM memory – the type, the speed, model and manufacturer, date of production, and so on.
The application is updated very often, so you can be sure that even the newest CPU models will be recognized by CPU-Z.
