I know of several ways to obtain information about my CPU in a GNU/Linux environment, from cat /proc/cpuid to various utilities, see e.g. here

However, none of them seems to tell me what my CPU model name is. I mean, I have (for the sake of discussion) an Intel Pentium 4 530. But the kind of information I can get about it is basically: Manufacturer/Vendor, Family-Model-Stepping, Clock speed (well, some more fields but this should be enough to uniquely identify the brand I think).

On Windows we have free (as in beer) utilities such as HWInfo which tell us the model name (in my case - the number 530 has to appear somewhere). Isn't there something similar for Linux as well?

Notes:

• Nothing requiring a graphical environment, please. Strictly command-line...
• HWInfo does detect the CPU as an "Intel Pentium 4 530J (Prescott, E0)". That's basically what I want to be seeing.
