You can see the cpu cache

Querying this output:

  • processor and core id
egrep 'processor|core id' /proc/cpuinfo

The number of processor ? (Core)

To display the number of existing CPUs, enter the following command:

grep processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l

or

grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo

With:

The architecture

You can determine the architecture and the word size with the uname command

uname -p
x86_64
i686

where: where x86_64

If the command return unknown:

uname -a
Linux ssh1.60gp.ha.ovh.net 3.14.51-grsec-hosting-3.14-grsec-ipv6-64-vps #1 
SMP Mon Sep 28 15:14 UTC 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux
