CPU-Z is a free application developed by CPUID to provide useful information about a device. You can use this free app when you need to find out why some programs in your system might be misbehaving. It also comes in handy when you need to download a program, and you need to know whether it will be compatible with your O.S. You can download it and install it for free to get started.
How Does CPU-Z Work?
CPU-Z presents all the necessary information about an operating system. This information comes in the form of a table, so you can scroll up and down and choose the information you need to make a decision on the program to download.
From this table, you can see details, such as the type of CPU and how powerful it is, number of cores, your smaprtphone’s architecture, details on the GPU, and the clock speed among others. Users will also access details, such as updates that may have already taken place and the make and model of the smartphone. You will also see other details, such as RAM that may already be available to you at the touch of a button.
More Tools for You
You can access all these details from your smartphone. However, the problem is that you have to open different portals and pages to access the details. CPU-Z brings all the details on one centralized portal to save you time. You can even see the status of phone battery, the temperature of your phone and its safety, and many other details.
All the major metrics appear on a simple table. Because the app is free, it will show some in-app advertisements time to time. However, these do not interfere with the way you use the app.
CPUID keeps updating their app to make it more comprehensive and easier to use for everyone. It is currently on its sixth version, which was released in 2021.
