## What it is
CoreFreq is a CPU monitoring and tuning tool for 64-bit processors that combines a Linux kernel module with a terminal UI to report frequencies, performance counters, temperatures, voltages, and topology with high precision. It supports Intel, AMD (including Zen), Arm A64, RISC-V RV64, and PowerPC64 architectures.

## Use cases
- monitor cpu frequencies and temperatures in real time
- inspect cpu topology and cache layout
- read performance counters like TSC, IPC, and C-states
- tune and overclock the processor from Linux
- diagnose cpu behavior on AMD Ryzen or Intel systems
- view ram and memory controller information

## When to choose
- you need BIOS-level CPU detail on Linux
- you want precise per-core frequency and counter readings
- you run AMD Zen, Intel, Arm64, RISC-V, or PowerPC64 hardware

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI-based monitoring tool
- you run on virtual machines without MSR access
- you need a cross-platform tool for Windows or macOS

## Facets
