CPU-Z is a freeware system profiling and monitoring software developed by CPUID. It provides information about central processing unit, RAM, motherboard chipset, and other hardware features of a modern personal computer or Android device.²

CPU-Z is a freeware tool that is supported in Windows and Android.³ It identifies various hardware components, and thus assists in identifying certain components; particularly the core revision and RAM clock rate. When the program is opened, it shows a CPU tab screen initially. It also provides information on the system's GPU.⁴⁵ The program is used for checking hardware components in a quick way.⁴ While CPU-Z is a system profiler software, it may not always display complete or accurate information about hardware components due to variations of CPUs, chipsets, BIOS, and motherboard.⁶

The program provides tabs and features for:

• CPU - provides processor name, package, code names, and core speed
• Mainboard - shows motherboard manufacturer, model names, BIOS information, and chipset
• Memory - shows memory types, size and frequency
• SPD - provides information about memory modules and specifications, with frequency and sizes
• Graphics - shows GPU name, memory sizes, and code name
• Bench - provides CPU benchmarks, of which users can also do processor tests
• About - shows the program version, and tools that includes saving reports⁵⁷
