   @steverweber I'm confused - are you talking about x86_64 vs arm64? Or something else? 🤔

   more info: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/230634/how-to-find-out-intel-architecture-family-from-command-line

   CPUs often have 'family' or microarchitecture names. After some testing it seems that the file is not always reliable.

   root@jupyter-p03:~# salt-call grains.get cpu_model
   local:
       AMD EPYC 7702P 64-Core Processor
   
   root@jupyter-p03:~# cat /sys/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name
   cat: /sys/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name: No such file or directory
   ** I assume newer kernels will have this output `zen2`
   
   root@jupyter-p03:~# gcc -march=native -Q --help=target|grep march
     -march=                               znver2
   

   Some Intel CPUs
   salt cpu\* cmd.run 'cat /sys/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name'
   cpu145:
       broadwell
   cpu150:
       skylake
   cpu21:
       sandybridge
