A few lines down you should see something like: cpu MHz : 199.906 That should give you the speed. and you already know (from above) the model. Failing that the messages generated at boot are available in dmesg ie dmesg|egrep 'Detected.*MHz processor' Detected 199.906 MHz processor. I don't have access to any alphas but the above holds true for spark.
