Thanks, it's a really good point...
lscpu changes the Vendoer ID and Model name depends on the user privilege.
I think it may confuse users.
Why don't we remove Vendor ID and Model name when non-root runs lscpu?
Or add a message to get Vendor ID and Model name like as follows?
$ lscpu
...
Vendor ID: (Need to run as root to show)
Model name: (Need to run as root to show)
...
Thanks,
