HardwareInformation
.NET Core Cross-Platform Hardware Information Gatherer
Usage
Download from Nuget via your favorite Nuget client like dotnet
dotnet add package HardwareInformation
Starting with version 2.1.20 HardwareInformation is also available via Github Package Registry!
Get hardware information from the gatherer
MachinInformation info = MachineInformationGatherer.GatherInformation(bool skipClockspeedTest = true)

HRF = Human Readable Format. Normal capacity/size is in bytes, while this is a string encoded with the appropriate sizing.
* Inaccurate or false measurements may be possible. Use with caution.
** Only available on Intel platforms.
*** Accesses operating system features (Windows WMI and Linux /proc, /sys or lshw etc.) and thus may not be accurate if those features are not available.
**** Only available on AMD platforms.
Goal
The immediate goal is somewhat feature-parity with CPU-Z/CPUID. While this may be impossible for some features (like RAM latencies) without a kernel driver, part of the goal is also to bring these kind of capabilities without requiring a software installation or kernel driver.
In some parts, this library has already more features than CPU-Z/CPUID, since it's cross-platform (for most features).
TODOs are tracked in the feature table. Crosses basically mean TODO.
