The tech-savvy Windows users might have used CPU-Z. It is an excellent utility for gathering comprehensive system information that is not available through stock applications in Windows. CPU-Z is not available on Linux.

There are multiple ways and tools you can use to get detailed hardware information in Linux. In fact, if you want something similar to CPU-Z on Linux, you are in luck. A developer called X0rg on GitHub has created a CPU-Z clone called CPU-X for Linux. The interface might not be an exact replica bit you will find it familiar.

Wow, this is amazing, thanks! Ever since I first completely switched to Linux, I wanted something like this, but I never found what I needed. Looks like CPU-X even has CLI capabilities!

you can also use something like inxi if you like to see hardware information on the command line.
