Just to make sure, I tested the AMD optimized tools with my Intel Core i3-2330 (4-cores running an 2.2GHZ. But of course you can use the AMD optimized packages in Intel chips and Intel ones in AMD etc. “burnP5”, “burnP6” (better than the “P5” as it supports never CPU models), “burnMMX” (also supports AMD) and “burnBX” (a CPU cache memory related test). Although it’s named “cpuburn” but in truth, it comes with few individual utilities (6 small ones) that as said are optimized for Intel and AMD CPU designs, which you can use, depending on your CPU model. (in the picture: I’ve used 4 terminals as I have a CPU with 4-cores, and CPU usage was measured using the awesome “Glances” system monitor).
And also note that, this is not a CPU benchmark tool, but only a stress tester. So with all due respect, dear readers, if you don’t know what you’re doing, please don’t use it!. But, if you’re looking for a CPU stress testing utility that’s optimized for both Intel and AMD micro processors, then the utility know as “cpuburn” will come in handy.īut please remember that, putting a lot of stress (100 % of CPU usage) on your CPU (especially if you’ve over clocked it) can easily damage your hardware.

Now under MS Windows OS you can find a lot of tools, however, in GNU/Linux or Ubuntu (as in this case) there aren’t that many you can use (or at least as far as I know). For instance, let’s say that you’ve just over clocked (running it in higher speeds than recommended, yikes!) the CPU and wanted to know if your fan or the cooling system in general could handle the new speeds (= generating more heat etc). If you’re a power user, then having the ability to put your CPU under a bit of stress can be quite useful.
