This document applies to AIX Versions 4.x.
While there is not a direct command to determine processor speed in AIX, the best place to start is with the uname command. Executing uname -m produces output of the following form:
xxyyyyyymmss
The meanings of the placeholders are as follows:
xx = 00
yyyyyy = Unique CPU ID
mm = Model ID <- these are the numbers to use to determine CPU speed
ss = 00 (Submodel)
By cross-referencing themmvalues from the uname -m output with the table below, you can easily determine the processor speed.

NOTES:
In general, the only way to determine the processor speed of a machine with a model ID of 4C is to reboot into System Management Services and choose the system configuration options. However, in some cases the information gained from the uname -M command can be helpful.

You can determine the processor speed in an MCA SMP system from the FRU number of the CPU card by using the following command:
lscfg -vl cpucard0 | grep FRU
This will produce the following output:
FRU Number..................C1D
FRU Number Processor Type Processor Speed E1D PowerPC 601 75 C1D PowerPC 601 75 C4D PowerPC 604 112 E4D PowerPC 604 112 X4D PowerPC 604e 200
For the E-series and F-30 systems, use the following process to determine CPU speed. Execute:
lscfg -vp | more
Look for the following stanza:
procF0 CPU Card
Part Number.................093H5280
EC Level....................00E76527
Serial Number...............17700008
FRU Number..................093H2431
Displayable Message.........CPU Card
Device Specific.(PL)........
Device Specific.(ZA)........PS=166,PB=066,PCI=033,NP=001,CL=02,PBH
Z=64467000,PM=2.5,L2=1024
Device Specific.(RM)........10031997 140951 VIC97276
ROS Level and ID............03071997 135048
In the section Device Specific.(ZA), the section PS= (boldface here) is the processor speed in MHz.
The following commands can be used to determine the processor speed of an F-50 system. Execute:
lscfg -vp | more
Look for the following stanza:
Orca M5 CPU:
Part Number.................08L1010
EC Level....................E78405
Serial Number...............L209034579
FRU Number..................93H8945
Manufacture ID..............IBM980
Version.....................RS6K
Displayable Message.........OrcaM5 CPU DD1.3
Product Specific.(ZC).......PS=0013c9eb00,PB=0009e4f580,SB=0004f27
ac0,NP=02,PF=461,PV=05,KV=01,CL=1
In the line containing Product Specific.(ZC), the entry PS= (boldface here), is the processor speed in hexadecimal notation. To convert this to an actual speed, use the following conversions:
The valuePF= indicates the processor configuration.
Each 2 way processor resides on one CPU card. 4 way systems will display two entries for the Orca M5 CPU card.
