It's no secret that the processor is the heart of any device. He plays a fundamental role. There are many types and models, different types of architectures and different frequencies. In this case, we are interested in the processor Android. The question of how to find out the processor on Android, users ask for various reasons: some want to overclock the CPU (Central Processing Unit – the central processing unit of a computer), others need information to flash the device, others are tormented by banal interest.
We receive information through the CPU-Z application
There are many options to get the job done, but why go into the wild when there is a simple yet complete way. Download the good old CPU-Z app (QR code in the picture).
CPU-Z is an application that gives out a huge amount of information not only about the CPU of your gadget, but also many other characteristics. Some of the latter are displayed in real time: processor load Android and RAM, sensor operation, etc. Let's take a closer look.
Install CPU-Z and open the app. Click the 'Save' button. That's it: you can look at the 'insides' of the device and analyze its work. As you can see, the application has several tabs.

SoC tab
The first tab contains detailed information about the CPU and GPU (if you need to look at the type of GPU on Android 4). Let's decipher the characteristics from the screenshot:
- The full name of the CPU is specified.
- Cores – number of cores; all kernels are indicated in parentheses, just some of them are locked (locked).
- Architecture. The architecture of the CPU is listed here. In this example, it is x86, although the most common gadgets with ARM architecture of different versions.
- CPUID. The technology that defines the capabilities of the CPU.
- Codename. CPU codename.
- Process. Manufacturing technology. This refers to the size of transistors in a chip, measured in nanometers. Simply put, the lower the number, the better.
- Clock Speed. Probably the most interesting point. This is where you can find out the processor frequency Android. It is useful primarily for users who decide to 'overclock' the CPU.
- Cache. Caches of different levels (more is better).
- GPU Vendor. The developer of the video chip.
- GPU Renderer. Actually the model of the video accelerator itself.
- CPU Load. CPU load in real time.

System tab
Information about the system as a whole is displayed here. Let's dwell on only the most basic elements:
- Device model.
- Installed version Android.
- Karnel version. Your firmware version.
- Exact display size.
- Display resolution.
- The number of pixels per inch.
- Shows the exact size of the random access memory (RAM) of the gadget.
- RAM used.
- Internal memory size.
- Root Access. Indicates whether the device has ROOT rights.
In the Battery tab, the characteristics of the battery are described in detail, in Sensors – the values of the sensors are dynamically displayed. Well, let's end this. Now you know which processor is on board your tablet, how to find out the architecture, how to find out and other additional MID parameters.
