Memory type and speed information is available through dmi. In systemd we recently merged a patch [1] to make this information available to unprivileged users, so that gnome can display it in a pretty way: $ udevadm info /sys/class/dmi/id/ P: /devices/virtual/dmi/id ... E: MODALIAS=dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrN1FET68W(1.42):bd03/13/2019... ... E: MEMORY_ARRAY_LOCATION=System Board Or Motherboard E: MEMORY_ARRAY_NUM_DEVICES=2 ... E: MEMORY_DEVICE_0_SIZE=4294967296 E: MEMORY_DEVICE_0_FORM_FACTOR=Chip E: MEMORY_DEVICE_0_TYPE=LPDDR3 E: MEMORY_DEVICE_0_SPEED_MTS=1867 E: MEMORY_DEVICE_0_MANUFACTURER=Samsung E: MEMORY_DEVICE_0_PART_NUMBER=K4E6E304EE-EGCF ...
