A:
you can try lshw if you have it. Other useful tools include lspci, lshal, biosdecode etc. also try /proc/cpuinfo and others at /proc
@OP /proc/cpuinfo is just a normal file, so you can use any tools that can display file info to view it (besides cat. cat is used for concatenating files by the way)
$ more /proc/cpuinfo
$ awk '{print}' /proc/cpuinfo
$ while read -r line; do echo $line;done < /proc/cpuinfo

you can use other tools such as `more`, `awk` or even the `bash` shell to display `/proc/cpuinfo`. Its just a file.
