CPU-Z is a program that helps you learn more about the core of your PC hardware, offering useful information on its various aspects. The program’s interface has different tabs that individually display the CPU speed and type, RAM speed and amount, motherboard information, graphics card model, etc.

CPU-Z is for people who would like to make sure their computer’s CPU configuration and other hardware are correct. People who have recently bought a new computer and want to cross-check if everything the manufacturer claimed is accurate would appreciate this application. Also, people who are considering upgrading the hardware on their computer would find this tool handy.

Traditionally, if you wanted to learn about your computer’s guts, you had to open the case for a look, and then check the memory, hard drive, etc. CPU-Z eliminates that disassembling part and makes life easy. If you were considering overclocking the graphics card or CPU on your computer, CPU-Z would give you information about multiplier, current core speeds, bus speed, etc.
