How to get CPU information in Ubuntu?

Two most common terminal commands by which we can get CPU information are:

1. lscpu
2. cat /proc/cpuinfo

Here are the example output:

lscpu

If you are feeling nerdy, and you want CPU information in much more detail, you can use “cpuid”. “cpuid” does not come by default in Ubuntu so you have to do this:
sudo apt-get install cpuid
Why this post?
I’m trying to learn Assembly. The above mentioned info will be useful in knowing CPU’s capabilities. For example, FPU, MMX etc.
