File generated by CPU-Z, a utility that measures and records system statistics; contains computer performance information captured from the system; stores the processor's name, specification, clock speed, bus speed, and cache, as well as system memory and graphics data.

CVF files are used to submit system results to the CPU-Z validation database website (called the CPU-Z Validator), which can be performed in the software by clicking the Validate button, entering a user name and email address, selecting the Save Validation File button, and then uploading the results to the CPU-Z website. The CPUID CPU-Z online database stores and compares the results from many different computer systems with each other. It includes a Hall of Fame for the fastest systems.
