The Intel Processor Identification Utility Version 3.6 can be used with Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and Windows Vista to gather information about your local processor.
Once you have downloaded the application and install it the utility is easy to use in that all you have to do is launch it and accept the license agreement and it will display your processors Speed, System Bus Speed and L2 cache memory information. It also has additional tables for CPU Technologies and CPUID Data.
Most if not all of the information that the utility provides can be gathered using other freeware utilities or scripting technologies such as VBS or HTA scripts however the graphical interface is quite nice.
The obvious shortcoming of the utility is that it does not offer support for remote processors in that there is no way to connect to a remote machine and retrieve the information like you can do with scripting technologies which would be nice. On the plus side is that they have a bootable version that is not operating system specific which would be hard to do using a scripting technologies such as a VBS script.
