Search Intel's ARK site on the command line

Command line Intel ARK search

This completely unofficial script will perform a search of Intel's ARK site for processor information.

Installation

From PyPi:

pip install arksearch

or via git:

git clone https://github.com/major/arksearch
cd arksearch
python setup.py install

Usage

Using the script is fairly straightforward:

• Search for a processor, such as the E3-1230
• Choose the exact processor from a list
• Read the data printed below

Here's a brief example:

$ arksearch E3-1230
Found 5 processors...
[0] Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1230 v5 (8M Cache, 3.40 GHz)
[1] Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1230L v3 (8M Cache, 1.80 GHz)
[2] Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1230 v3 (8M Cache, 3.30 GHz)
[3] Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1230 v2 (8M Cache, 3.30 GHz)
[4] Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1230 (8M Cache, 3.20 GHz)
