Get info about your CPU
Project description
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 imnport 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'}
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
