About:
cpufetch is a command-line utility that displays detailed information about the CPU architecture and features. It provides a visually appealing ASCII art representation of the CPU model alongside technical specifications like cache sizes, microarchitecture, and supported instruction sets. The tool aims to be a lightweight, dependency-free alternative to lscpu for quickly inspecting processor capabilities.
Key Features:
  • Visual ASCII art representation of the CPU
  • Detailed cache hierarchy and topology detection
  • Support for x86, ARM, and RISC-V architectures
  • Zero runtime dependencies
Use Cases:
  • Quickly verifying CPU features and topology on remote servers
  • Generating system summary reports for documentation
  • Debugging hardware detection issues in build scripts
Alternatives:
  • lscpu – Standard GNU utility; cpufetch offers a more visual and compact output
  • neofetch – General system info tool; cpufetch focuses specifically on CPU details
