My 5 /proc/cpuinfos say:
Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2500 @ 2.00GHz
Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5335 @ 2.00GHz
Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5482 @ 3.20GHz
I'm not sure if that's any more helpful :-)
Especially the first one. I don't think of my laptop as having a
T2500. I think of it as having a 32-bit Core Duo. And I have no idea
what the different types of Xeon are. But then, I couldn't tell you
whether they are Nehalems or Penryns either, and I'm quite sure the
owners couldn't either.
$ grep name /proc/cpuinfo
model name : QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.9.1
If only they were all so clear :-)
