cpumodel 0.0.3

Get info about your CPU

cpumodel

A Python library to parse and return various attributes from the CPU string

It has only been tested on relatively modern AMD and Intel CPUs that are likely to still be in use, i.e. AMD Ryzen, AMD EPYC, Intel i-series, Intel Xeon E3/E5 and newer. Other CPUs may or may not produce useful output.

If you want to request support for an unsupported CPU or if you see a bug in the output, see the Contributing section.

Installation

pip install cpumodel

Usage

As a library

from cpumodel.cpumodel import get_cpu_model

info = get_cpu_model()

As a script

$ cpumodel
{'cpuVendor': 'AMD', 'cpuString': 'AMD Ryzen 7 5700G', 'cpuModel': 'Ryzen 7 5700G', 'cpuFamily': 'Ryzen 7', 'cpuGeneration': '5', 'cpuLetter': 'G'}

You can optionally supply a CPU string with -t or --test which will cause cpumodel to parse this CPU string rather than get the local system's CPU string. This is useful for testing the logic.

$ cpumodel -t "Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6234 CPU @ 3.30GHz"
{'cpuVendor': 'Intel', 'cpuString': 'Intel Xeon Gold 6234', 'cpuModel': 'Xeon Gold 6234', 'cpuFamily': 'Xeon Gold', 'cpuGeneration': '6'}

Output

This library returns up to 6 values (it is possible for values to be None)

• cpuVendor, the CPU vendor, e.g. Intel
• cpuString, the full model string of the CPU, e.g. Intel Core i7-6700S
• cpuModel, the shorter model name of the CPU, e.g. Core i7-6700S
• cpuFamily, the concise family name of the CPU, e.g. Core i7
• cpuGeneration, the numeric generation of the CPU, e.g. 6
• cpuLetter, any trailing letter codes for this CPU, e.g. S

Examples

The best explanation of the data returned is probably by giving various examples.

Contribution

If this library doesn't work properly on your CPU, it's probably because I've never tested on a CPU of that type.

Please open an issue, and describe what you would expect the output of this module to be, and include the output of this command:

grep 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u
