Apr 16, 2018 at 1:09 comment added chx Holy necromancy, Batman! Blast from the past, if there ever was one. Do note the question includes "I tried various tools but all they do is give you some info about the processor with no actual version (processor number)" thus I tried to give an idea on how to id something based on characteristics and not tools. Today the same would work: socket (or generation), threads/core, gigahertz, vPro support together identifies an Intel CPU. Admittedly: the various CPU info tools work a lot better now.

As the next answer nicely points out CPU-Z or on Linux cat /proc/cpuinfo although I do appreciate in 99% of cases your answer gives a strong indication :)
