PowerShell get processor info


How to check if processor is 32bit or 64bit?

How to check how many logical processors?

How to get processor speed?

How to check whether the server has more than one physical processor?

PowerShell comes in handy to get processor information.

PowerShell script below gets the number of cores, number of enabled cores, and number of logical processors, processor id and the manufacturer information of the processor.

If the system has more than one physical processor PowerShell script below will get all the information of all the processor information installed on the system. I haven’t tested this one since my system has only one physical processor but believe PowerShell will list all the available physical processor on the system.

Here’s the script:

==============================================

$cpu_info = Get-WmiObject -class Win32_Processor


foreach ($cpu_values in $cpu_info) {

"Name " +[char]9 +[char]9 +[char]9 +[char]9 +[char]9 +[char]9 +" : " + $cpu_values.Name  +[char]10
