Is it possible to find out which CPU my Linux system uses?
Yes, with
cat /proc/cpuinfo
Yes, with
cat /proc/cpuinfo
Modern day Linux also supports additional commands to determine the processor model
1. lscpu - gives a summary of the processor hardware
2. dmidecode - can display quite a bit of information about the total hardware. One can view the processor related information by searching for "Processor" section in the output. "cat /proc/cpuinfo" mentioned in the previous post also presents similar info.
