Linux – How to determine what type of CPU socket a linux computer has

central-processing-unitlinuxsocket

What Linux command/program can I use to tell me what type of CPU socket a Linux desktop has?

I use CPUZ or SIW on windows, and I can use "cat /proc/cpuinfo" on Linux to get the rest of the possessor's information, But it does not tell me which socket the CPU is.

Thanks.

If you have x86info installed you can run it with x86info -a and you will get something like this:
