Don't know of any specific commands but you can always take a peek inside /proc/cpuinfo.

edit:
Code: [Select]
cat /proc/cpuinfo [/edit]

If you have an x86 processor then the cpuid assembly instruction will get you a lot of information about the cpu. This will give you some idea of the speed but not an absolute value.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge/experience than my next-to-none will be able to offer you a more useful suggestion.

I always thought that uname gave some info along those lines. Not speed, though.

what fitlike said is probably what you're looking for. at least it says both the type "AMD Athlon(tm) Processor" and the speed "1145.202" in mhz
