New parser request: cpuid

[paoloschi]

If one wants to get the family name of the Intel CPU (whether it is a Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Skylake, etc.) from the command line, as far as I have been able to discover, the only tool that allows this seems to be cpuid

The command prints out quite a lot of data to the terminal, and being able to extract just a few values from it would become simple only by first transforming it into JSON, I think…
That's why I opened this request

Hi - thanks for the parser suggestion! I haven’t checked but is this information not available with the dmidecode command?

Hi, I know that jc already includes the parser for dmidecode of which I have read the manual well and tested every option and no, it does not return the CPU code name.
Of all the similar tools I could try, only cpuid does it.
