lscpu

On a Linux system, you can use the lscpu command to obtain information on the system's Central Processing Unit (CPU). On a CentOS Linux system, the utility is included in the util-linux package. On a CentOS system, you can install that package using the yum package management utility, if it isn't already installed, using yum install util-linux. You can check on whether the lscpu program is already present using which lscpu and, on a CentOS system or another system that uses RPM, you can use rpm -qi util-linux to determine if the util-linux package is already installed.

You can see the options available for the program using lscpu -h.

$ lscpu -h

Usage:
 lscpu [options]

Options:
 -a, --all               print both online and offline CPUs (default for -e)

 -c, --offline           print offline CPUs only
 -e, --extended[=<list>] print out an extended readable format
 -p, --parse[=<list>]    print out a parsable format
 -s, --sysroot <dir>     use specified directory as system root
 -x, --hex               print hexadecimal masks rather than lists of CPUs

 -h, --help     display this help and exit
 -V, --version  output version information and exit

Available columns:
           CPU  logical CPU number
          CORE  logical core number
