So I popped the heat sink off the CPU in my ‘chipped’ Xbox. I wasn’t able to get the heat sink off the device to the left of that, which might be the graphics card? I’m not sure. I gave it a pretty mighty tug and it didn’t come loose, so not sure what the deal is there. I cleaned the CPU and the heat sink (I damaged the heat sink a little, you can see the scratches).
$ watch 'grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo | awk "{ print \$4 }" | sort -n'
I have a few RPis on my desk but I had no idea what version they were. I ran these commands to find out:
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Model $ free -h $ lsb_release -a $ ip a
Today I discovered Intel Processor Names and Numbers. Documentation about how Intel names its CPU chips.
Found Gallery of Processor Cache Effects… also of interest CPU cache, Memory Management Unit, and CPUID on Wikipedia.
Just stumbled upon What every programmer should know about memory:
Use the following commands:
# lscpu
And:
dmidecode -t cache
