How to Display a System's Processor Type

Use the psrinfo -v command to identify a system's processor type. This command also displays the number of processors, as shown in the following example.


#psrinfo -v

  Processor has been on-line since 02/03/2003 10:21:46.
  The sparcv9 processor operates at 600 MHz,
        and has a sparcv9 floating point processor.

On an x86 system, use the isalist command to identify the processor type.
