Which speed do you really want to know? There is a difference between clock speed and CPU speed. The CPU speed is the one which is shown as 2.4 Ghz or 2.66 Ghz. The clock speed is the inner speed unit of the cpu which is responsible for synchronization of all parts of the computer. The CPU Speed is the combination of clock with another unit know as multiplier. clock speed is say 300mhz and the CPU speed is shown as 3.0 Ghz then the multiplier would be 10 [300mhz * 10 = 3.0ghz]
I want to know the total speed which is shown, the same which is shown in term of ghz and which is specified in the specification. Well how do i identify it? Please help...
Its quite simple. Just open terminal and type this command :
Code:sudo cat /proc/cpuinfo
