There are 2two main ways to view your CPU stats if you don‘t want to install additional software you can view a lot of details from the terminal / command line.
1 #
type on the terminal...
sudo powermetrics
and at the bottom you will see the following...
**** SMC sensors ****
CPU Thermal level: 51
GPU Thermal level: 35
IO Thermal level: 1
Fan: 2060 rpm
CPU die temperature: 88.36 C (fan)
GPU die temperature: 74.38 C
CPU Plimit: 0.00
GPU Plimit (Int): 0.00
GPU2 Plimit (Ext1): 0.00
or #2
or try typing.. (but apple maybe removed the details from this to just numbers 0 or 1?)
sysctl -a | grep cpu | more
or thermal / temperature details only?
sysctl -a | grep thermal
the output should look like this...

You will notice the frequency details and also some thermal info... you can also "grep thermal" if you are only interested in that...
