The `go-m1cpu` module is a library for inspecting Apple Silicon CPUs in Go.

Use the `m1cpu` Go package for looking up the CPU frequency for Apple M1 and M2 CPUs.

# Install

```shell
go get github.com/shoenig/go-m1cpu@latest
```

# CGO

This package requires the use of [CGO](https://go.dev/blog/cgo).

Extracting the CPU properties is done via Apple's [IOKit](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/iokit?language=objc)
framework, which is accessible only through system C libraries.

# Example

Simple Go program to print Apple Silicon M1/M2 CPU speeds.

```go
package main

import (
"fmt"

"github.com/shoenig/go-m1cpu"
)

func main() {
fmt.Println("Apple Silicon", m1cpu.IsAppleSilicon())

fmt.Println("pCore GHz", m1cpu.PCoreGHz())
fmt.Println("eCore GHz", m1cpu.ECoreGHz())

fmt.Println("pCore Hz", m1cpu.PCoreHz())
fmt.Println("eCore Hz", m1cpu.ECoreHz())
}
```

Using `go test` to print out available information.

```
➜ go test -v -run Show
=== RUN Test_Show
cpu_test.go:42: pCore Hz 3504000000
cpu_test.go:43: eCore Hz 2424000000
