Not that I know of. As it seems the linux kernel does not provide those pieces of information in an architecture independent format. I vaguely remember a thread somewhere that discussed this issue, but I have no idea where that was. In the current situation lscpu is the best you'll get. Do you care about other operating systems then linux? E.g. the BSDs do not have /proc/cpuinfo at all. Kind regards, -Alex
