GlaD1 Posted October 8, 2023 Posted October 8, 2023 How to Benchmark a Raspberry Pi Using Vcgencmd Get all the data from your favorite single board computer The vcgencmd has been buried deep in Raspberry Pi OS for many years, but it took the Raspberry Pi 5 for us to truly learn to love it. At its most basic level, the command is used to output information from the VideoCore GPU, which forms part of the SoC. But with a few extra options / arguments we can get live CPU temperature data, voltages, clock speeds for many different components and much more. In this how to we will introduce the basic usage of the command and then write a custom Bash script which will benchmark any Raspberry Pi system The command has multiple options to measure clock speeds, temperatures, voltages etc. Let's go through them and see how each command is used, and an example of its output. Every computer has more than one clock speed. The CPU may be running in the Gigahertz, but some parts of your computer will be running at much lower speeds. The vcgencmd command has options to monitor https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/raspberry-pi-benchmark-vcgencmd
