About CPU-Z

CPU-Z for Windows x86/x64 is a freeware tool that gathers information on the processor, mainboard, and memory. It reports processor name and number, codename, process, package, and cache levels, plus mainboard and chipset, and memory type, size, timings, and SPD module specifications. It also measures each core's internal frequency and memory frequency in real time.

The program is fully supported on Windows 11 and is offered in 32-bit and 64-bit setup and ZIP packages, including English and Chinese builds. Settings can be adjusted with a cpuz.ini file in the same folder as the executable; if no file is present, default values are used.
