C800 Router A Chip or C Chip

[khyber Passe]

Hi All,

How can you tell in CLI if an ISR 800 router is using A Chip or C Chip?

Thanks in advance!

Are you trying to determine the model of router?  "show inventory" will tell you this.

Thanks Philip,

I read somewhere that the newer Cisco 880 are using type C chip CPU while the older were using type A. Type C is much more powerful.  How can I tell from CLI? Or are there any model numbers that tell you this information?

You may not be able to tell.  Do a "show inventory" and look at the "Hw Revision".
