The best way is to open the case. 100% of the time, it will have huge letters around the CPU socket. Opening a case is easy, and 99% of the time does not void the warranty. If it does void it, the you have a sketchy computer and i wouldnt trust it.
If you really really dont want to, you can download CPU-Z or Belarc Advisor, and they will tell you after you run them.

Easy, download CPU-Z, http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php extract the files (there is no installer) and double click cpuz, once it is open go to the Mainboard tab and it will tell you what it is. If your computer is from a manufacturer like HP or Dell, it will likely not give you the correct name. It might say something like "Dell Revision" and so on with some model numbers. In that case you'll have to look it up online. Well, you'll still have to look it up online but in cases like that it can be harder.

Most diagnotics will give you some info, many fairly close to what it actually is. Unless you bought your PC from a Place like DELL or a similar reseller, you really will have to open the unit to get the precise specs.
No diagnostic is ever that close in the information.
