## Method Documentation

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QObject | backendObject
| ) |  |  |

Creates a new Processor object. You generally won't need this. It's created when necessary using Device.as().

Parameters:

  | backendObject | the device interface object provided by the backend

See also:
  Solid.Device.as()

bool canChangeFrequency | ( |  | self ) |

Indicates if the processor can change the CPU frequency.

True if a processor is able to change its own CPU frequency. (generally for power management).

Returns:
  true if the processor can change CPU frequency, false otherwise

Solid.Processor.InstructionSets instructionSets | ( |  | self ) |

Queries the instructions set extensions of the CPU.

Returns:
  the extensions supported by the CPU

See also:
  Solid.Processor.InstructionSet

int maxSpeed | ( |  | self ) |

Retrieves the maximum speed of the processor.

Returns:
  the maximum speed in MHz, or 0 if the device can't be queried for this information.

int number | ( |  | self ) |

Retrieves the processor number in the system.

Returns:
  the internal processor number in the system, starting from zero

## Static Method Documentation

Solid.DeviceInterface.Type deviceInterfaceType | ( |  | ) |

Get the Solid.DeviceInterface.Type of the Processor device interface.

Returns:
  the Processor device interface type
