    Compared to Speccy, a key feature it's missing is a "summary screen" with an overview of the most important information from each page. On the other hand, it shows more technical details than Speccy does. While the features are similar, I feel they have slightly different use cases/audiences.

    hwinfo is a live monitoring program with a complicated user interface. Speccy is an at-a-glance hardware profiling tool for e.g. quickly finding out just exactly which version of your cpu you have, or which model of RAM when you've lost the box...

    Much more accurate than Speccy, also much more more involved, aimed at power users/pros.

    It correctly detects things that Speccy fails to, such as CPU core temperatures in modern AMD chips.

    No, it's not. It does system reports AND benchmarks. Benchmarks are a part of it. I use it as self extracting file (rar) to get detailed reports of pcs via remote control. But Speccy also does a very good job!

    It's sad that they're archived the repo and maybe discontinue the project. Nevertheless I liked compactness of this app and giving basic info with that short and nice and clean text.
