lscpumac

A macOS shell script that displays CPU and system information in the same format as the Linux lscpu command.

Linux's lscpu is not available on macOS. This script replicates its output by querying the macOS kernel directly via sysctl, presenting fields like architecture, CPU topology, clock speeds, cache sizes, and memory in the familiar two-column layout.

Usage

lscpumac

Example output (Apple Silicon)

Architecture: arm64<br>CPU op-mode(s): 64-bit<br>Byte Order: Little Endian<br>CPU(s): 12<br>On-line CPU(s) list: 0-11<br>Thread(s) per core: 1<br>Core(s) per socket: 12<br>Socket(s): 1<br>Model name: Apple M2 Pro<br>CPU MHz: 3504.000<br>L1d cache: 128K<br>L1i cache: 192K<br>L2 cache: 16M<br>Cache line: 128B<br>Memory: 16Gi

Example output (Intel x86)

Architecture: x86_64<br>CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit<br>Byte Order: Little Endian<br>CPU(s): 8<br>On-line CPU(s) list: 0-7<br>Thread(s) per core: 2<br>Core(s) per socket: 4<br>Socket(s): 1<br>Vendor ID: GenuineIntel<br>CPU family: 6<br>Model: 158<br>Model name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz<br>Stepping: 10<br>CPU MHz: 2200.000<br>CPU max MHz: 4100.000<br>CPU min MHz: 800.000<br>Virtualisation: VT-x<br>L1d cache: 32K<br>L1i cache: 32K<br>L2 cache: 256K<br>L3 cache: 9M<br>Cache line: 64B<br>Memory: 16Gi

Fields are silently omitted when the underlying sysctl key is unavailable (for example, Intel-specific fields like Vendor ID and Virtualisation are not shown on Apple Silicon).

Dependencies

Tool<br>Notes

bash 3.2+<br>Ships with macOS since 10.3

sysctl<br>Ships with macOS; provides all CPU and memory data

uname<br>Ships with macOS; used to detect the CPU architecture

awk<br>Ships with macOS; used for arithmetic formatting (MHz, cache sizes, memory)

grep<br>Ships with macOS; used to extract frequency from the CPU brand string on Apple Silicon

No third-party tools, Homebrew packages, or interpreters (Python, Ruby, etc.) are required. The script runs with what every macOS installation provides out of the box.
