CPU-Z

CPU-Z is an open-source utility for Windows that gathers detailed information about important hardware components in a computer. It presents identification and operating details for the system’s processor, mainboard, and memory. The software fits the Utilities category because its purpose is hardware inspection and reporting.

For the processor, CPU-Z reports the name and number, codename, process, package, and cache levels. It also provides real-time measurements of each core’s internal frequency. These details help users identify the processor installed in a Windows computer and observe its measured frequency.

The mainboard information covers the system’s mainboard and chipset. Memory information includes the memory type, size, and timings. CPU-Z also provides module specifications through SPD and reports memory frequency in real time.

MirrorNest distributes CPU-Z for Windows by mirroring the official build directly on its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published. This places the open-source utility in a download catalog while keeping its distribution tied to the official build.
