Dave reveals much of what I have suspected from years of Windows use. From the first post DOS Windows up to Windows 11.

 

This program is very reliable:

CPU-Z for Windows® x86/x64 is a freeware that gathers information on some of the main devices of your system :

• Processor name and number, codename, process, package, cache levels.
• Mainboard and chipset.
• Memory type, size, timings, and module specifications (SPD).
• Real time measurement of each core's internal frequency, memory frequency.
• CPU-Z is fully supported on Windows® 11.

My thoughts exactly

 

I've tried that and others over the years. Found that knowing how Task Manager reports info is enough for me personally. The graph with the windows stretch reveals quite a bit about what happens over time showing peaks and valleys.
