## What it is
CPU-X is a free and open-source system profiling and monitoring application for GNU/Linux and FreeBSD, similar to CPU-Z on Windows. It reports details about the CPU, motherboard, memory, GPU, and system performance, with a GTK graphical mode, an NCurses text mode, and a command-line dump mode.

## Use cases
- check cpu specs on linux
- view motherboard and ram information
- linux alternative to cpu-z
- monitor cpu temperature and performance
- dump hardware info from the command line
- inspect gpu and system details on freebsd

## When to choose
- you need CPU-Z-like hardware details on Linux or BSD
- you want both a GUI and terminal interface for system info
- you prefer free and open-source software

## When to avoid
- you need in-depth stress testing or heavy benchmarking suites
- you are on Windows and just want CPU-Z itself
- you need remote fleet-wide hardware inventory management

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, benchmarking, cli, gui
- domain: developer-tools, hardware, operating-systems
- platform: bsd, cli
- tags: cpu-z-alternative, system-information, hardware-probing, ncurses, gtk, system-profiling, motherboard, ram, gpu-info, appimage, command-line, linux, desktop
