hwinfo, alternative Linux à CPU-Z

Mis à jour le

Notre avis

hwinfo is a solid replacement for CPU‑Z for Linux users who need a quick, non‑intrusive snapshot of CPU, memory, and motherboard details. It pulls the same core data that CPU‑Z shows—CPU model, core count, clock speeds, cache sizes, RAM type and speed, chipset, BIOS version—and does so from the command line, making it ideal for scripts or remote servers. It is best for users who prefer terminal tools or need to run the check on headless machines.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil

  • Both report CPU model, core count, clock speeds, and cache sizes
  • Both provide RAM type, size, and speed
  • Both give motherboard chipset and BIOS/firmware version
  • Both are command‑line utilities that can be scripted
  • Both are free and open source

Ce qui change

  • hwinfo shows a broader range of devices (PCI, USB, network, storage) that CPU‑Z does not
  • CPU‑Z offers a graphical interface; hwinfo is purely text
  • hwinfo does not export to the .txt format used by CPU‑Z; it outputs plain text or XML
  • CPU‑Z includes a small set of extra diagnostics (e.g., temperature sensors) that hwinfo may not expose
  • CPU‑Z is available on Windows only; hwinfo is Linux‑only

Ouvrir vos fichiers CPU-Z

CPU‑Z saves its data in a plain text report that can be copied to a file, but hwinfo does not read or import CPU‑Z files. To compare results, run both tools side‑by‑side and manually compare the output. No direct import/export exists.

Passer de CPU-Z à hwinfo, étape par étape

  1. Install hwinfo via your distro’s package manager (e.g., apt install hwinfo).
  2. Run "hwinfo --short" to get a concise summary of CPU, memory, and motherboard data.
  3. Redirect the output to a file with "hwinfo --short > hwinfo.txt" for later review.
  4. If you need the same format as CPU‑Z, use "hwinfo --short | grep -E 'CPU|Memory|Chipset|BIOS'" and manually format the text.
  5. Compare the output with a saved CPU‑Z report to ensure all key fields match.
