Thanks to :

And here are the answers summarized:

******************************************************************************
#!/bin/sh

cpuhz=`devinfo -vp | grep freq | head -1 | awk '{print $2}'`
cpuhz=`printf "%u" $cpuhz`
cpumhz=`expr $cpuhz / 1000000`
printf "%.2f MHz\n"

******************************************************************************

It'll be listed in the old Sun hardware FAQ, but I can tell you it's
a 40Mhz CPU and 20 Mhz SBus

Unless you have a Weitek PowerUp chip (unlikely) in which case
it'll be 80Mhz CPU

******************************************************************************

Reboot, hit Stop-A, and read the processor display at the top of the screen.

******************************************************************************

sysinfo | grep 'CPU'

should give you the information you need.

The man page for sysinfo is sysinfo(1).
