# Terminal vs CPU Info

The clearest difference is rating: Terminal at 4.4 against CPU Info's 2.5. Terminal also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (111 vs 2).

Terminal ships an update every 9 days, CPU Info every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
