Install and Use CPUFetch to Show Detailed CPU Specs Across Platforms

Overview

CPUFetch is a lightweight command‑line tool that gathers CPU architecture information on Linux, Windows, macOS and Android. It displays the vendor logo (e.g., Intel, AMD) along with a set of technical fields.

Supported Information

CPU name

Micro‑architecture

Semiconductor technology node (nm)

Maximum frequency

Core and thread count

Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX)

Fused Multiply‑Add (FMA)

L1, L2, L3 cache sizes

Peak performance

Installation on Ubuntu (build from source)

Install git if it is not already present: sudo apt install git Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/Dr-Noob/cpufetch Enter the source directory and compile with make . The default Makefile invokes the following gcc command:

gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror -pedantic -fstack-protector-all -std=c99 -DARCH_X86 -Wfloat-equal -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith \
    src/common/main.c src/common/cpu.c src/common/udev.c src/common/printer.c \
    src/common/args.c src/common/global.c src/x86/cpuid.c src/x86/apic.c \
    src/x86/cpuid_asm.c src/x86/uarch.c -o cpufetch

Run the tool from the build directory: ./cpufetch To make cpufetch available system‑wide, move the executable to /usr/local/bin :

sudo mv cpufetch /usr/local/bin/

Uninstalling

Remove the cloned source directory: rm -rf cpufetch Delete the installed binary:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/cpufetch
