This tool can provide information to a windows user other than the one available in system information tool of Windows. It can give information about the processor, cache, clocks, and settings of the hardware installed on the chipset. This tool is used to overcome the Windows system limitation of sharing information about the underlying chipset, processor and hardware. Using BIOS is cumbersome and is not useful for real-time status and state of the hardware.
CPU-Z provides information about the processor, cache, chipset, and the instruction set of the hardware of a windows system.
