    I’m dumber, can you tell me how to find the numbers after the dash? Mine is an i5, that’s all I know.

    Edit: On linux. Sorry, should’ve specified, I’m so used to everyone on lemmy running linux lol.

    'Nother edit: i5-5200U, “Broadwell-U” version. So looks like I’m good (and this pc is 5yr newer than I thought lol.)

      cat /proc/cpuinfo It’s verbose, but it should also list the known processor vulnerabilities that are already worked around by the kernel

            Well you expect wrong! Lol tbh it isn’t often I need to know the specific model of processor I have, typically “sticker says i5” works just fine, but this time not so much lol.

              I don’t know how much you care about this, but even within each product class (i5, i7, etc) there can be a huge performance delta between specific models, especially in laptop chips. The same applies to AMD.

                This will be a concern next time I buy (or build) a pc, but this laptop is a “Hey Ma, do you still have that old laptop you don’t use from 2010? I wanna try linux” machine.

                Turns out after I installed Fedora I was never able to stop using it since it is so much better than windows so now I’m going on year 2 of “shit I guess I don’t really need to upgrade if it works this well!” Lol
