try on your machine

The command "uname --processor" is used to extract and display information about the processor of a computer system.

The "uname" command is a Unix-like command that stands for "unix name." It is used to print various system information about the operating system and machine.

The "--processor" option is used to specifically request information about the processor. When you run the command, it will display the processor type, architecture, or other relevant details depending on the operating system and version you are using.

For example, if you run the command on a Linux system with an Intel Core i7 processor, it might output something like "x86_64" or "AMD64" to indicate that it is a 64-bit x86 processor architecture.

Overall, the "uname --processor" command helps users quickly retrieve information about the type and architecture of the processor in their system.
