CPU-Z Overview
CPU-Z is a free, widely used system-information utility for Windows from CPUID that reports detailed, accurate specifications about your computer's hardware. It identifies the processor (model, architecture, core/thread count, cache, and live clock speeds and voltages), the motherboard and chipset, the memory (type, size, timings, and SPD details per slot), and the graphics card. Enthusiasts use it to verify hardware, check overclocks in real time, and confirm that a system matches its advertised specs. It also includes a simple benchmark and validation feature. The complete installer means CPU-Z sets up without fetching anything online during installation. An Android version reports phone hardware, and the tool's validation database lets enthusiasts share and compare verified system specifications.
