Your CPU speed determines how fast your process can perform tasks. CPU
speeds matter less than they did in the past, thanks to the advent of
multi-core processors. Still, it can be useful to check your CPU speed
when purchasing a new program to make sure that your computer can handle
it. It's also very useful to know how to check the CPU's true speed
when you're overclocking for better performance.
Steps:
1) Open the System window. There are several ways that you can open this window quickly.
Steps:
1) Open the System window. There are several ways that you can open this window quickly.
- Windows 7, Vista, XP - Right-click on Computer/My Computer in the Start menu and select "Properties". In Windows XP, you may need to click the "General" tab after selecting "Properties".
- Windows 8 - Right-click on the Start button and select "System".
- All Versions - Press ⊞ Win+Pause.
3) Note the processor speed. Your processor model and
speed will be displayed. The speed is measured in gigahertz (GHz). This
is the speed of a single core of your processor. If your processor has
multiple cores (most modern processors do), each core will be this
speed.
- If your processor is overclocked, the actual speed may not be shown here. See the next section for details on finding your actual overclocked speed.
- Press ⊞ Win+R to open the Run dialog box.
- Type dxdiag and press ↵ Enter. Click Yes if prompted to check your drivers.
- Find the "Processor" entry in the System tab. If your computer has multiple cores, you'll see the number in parentheses after the speed (e.g. 4 CPUs). This will let you know how many cores you have. Each core runs at approximately the same speed (there will always be very minor variations).
