$ lscpu --extended

try on your machine

The command "lscpu --extended" is used to display detailed information about the CPU (Central Processing Unit) of a Linux system.

Here is a breakdown of each part of the command:

"lscpu" is the main command. It is short for "list CPU" and is used to obtain CPU-related information.
"--extended" is an option or flag that modifies the behavior of the "lscpu" command. This specific option is used to provide additional details about the CPU.

When you run the command "lscpu --extended", the output will include various information about the CPU, such as its architecture, vendor, model name, number of cores, thread(s) per core, clock speed, cache sizes, and more. The extended option provides a more comprehensive view of the CPU characteristics compared to the basic "lscpu" command without any options.
