Actually it might not be a good idea, i'm writing a shell script to handle every situation. Perhaps it could be accepted as an extra in about 2 months?
Yes, I'm thinking libcpuid has to remain a purely CPU detection library. We discussed that previously in issue #8 . Additional, catalogue-like data, is welcome in a non-code format, like a SQL dump, a XML, or anything else suitable to the task (indeed, whatever you choose, it's going to have a lot of repetitive info).
I see.
By the way, I think there is a bug regarding HyperThreading (num_logical_cpus > 1) in p4 cpus. As you can see from the example above there is no way such a primitive p4 celeron can do hyperthreading, but has the HT flag... which is misleading. Right I'm with another processor (but quite similar), as you can see here:

Actually even an Atom (Diamonville) processor has the HT flag, and it shows 'num_logical: 2' which is not the case...
Well I was wrong, Atom (Diamondville) processors do have 2 'threads'.
Having said that, I have a fix for this, I'll make a pull request later. I'll add a test for Pentium 4 Prescott 3.2GHz with HT enabled, so you can see.
It looks like processors from the same family and model/brand share some striking some similarities.
cpu-world shows that a particular brand/model share FSB, litography and in many cases the same socket.
I'm collecting cpu-z screenshots and all screenshots from Core i3 1st gen have the same socket.
Litography (technology) is 100% accurate FSB might be 90-100% accurate socket might be 60-70% accurate
Of course at least the socket can be taken as a reference, not a fact
I can provide input for these fields in case there is interest...
