cpufreq-info: Show current CPU work frequency in a human-readable format, according to the cpufreq kernel module.
$ cpufreq-info -f -m
try on your machine

The command cpufreq-info -f -m is used to display information about the CPU frequency scaling on a Linux system.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • cpufreq-info is the command itself. It is used to provide information about the CPU frequency scaling.
  • -f is an option that instructs the command to display the current CPU frequency in a human-readable format. It shows the frequency in megahertz (MHz).
  • -m is another option that tells the command to display the available CPU frequency limits in a human-readable format. It shows the frequency limits in MHz as well.

By running this command, you will get information about the current CPU frequency and the available frequency limits of your system's CPU. This can be helpful in understanding and monitoring the CPU performance and speed on your Linux machine.
