@JourneymanGeek Also lscpu is just one command to viewing cpu specs and model.

Well, apparently it doesn’t for him. I don’t know if Linux or lshw depend on an internal database of CPU models.

This doesn't solve my problem. In both cases, the output does not include the brand name. GenuineIntel doesn't tell me much at all, and sudo lshw -class cpu | grep version: yields 15.4.1 (which is Family.Model.Stepping).

The implementation of the /proc/cpuinfo virtual file is contained in the architecture-specific parts of the Linux kernel. That’s why it looks different on ARM and MIPS and whatnot.
