there is already one installed it is called System Monitor and can be found in the dash by hitting the "Windows"(called Super) key and then you can start typing the name and clicking the icon to open it. If you are going to be using it frequently you can then right click the icon in the launcher and selecting "Lock to Launcher" it will then stay in the launcher and you can click the icon to open it. Here is a screenshot....

enter image description here as you can see it is a lot like the Windows task manager and can show you what Processes are running as well and you can kill a process with a right click as well as get file system info(how much free space ect) and general system info(kernel number, computer name ect)

There is a indicator app that allows you to see/control the speed in Ghz of the processor but I don't know anything about it is called indicator-cpufreq and can be found in the Software Center or here.

    @Levan OK, sorry I misunderstood the question but I have edited it to include a app indicator that you can install that should do what you need
