Well, truthfully I don't have a straight answer to this (hence this bug report,
but maybe I didn't write my report in the most... affirming way?).

For AArch64, there's actually a way to generate a "pretty name," checking
/proc/cpuinfo...

CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 8
CPU variant     : 0x0
CPU part        : 0xd08
CPU revision    : 2

If we refer to "implementer" and "part," this translates into Cortex-A72 r0p2
(Implementer 0x41: ARM Ltd.; Part 0xd08: A72; ...). But then there are
asymmetric (big.LITTLE) ARM SoCs with different cores for different performance
characteristics, so this may not work in the end.

There's also another way, I suppose. If we couldn't detect an exact processor
model, would it be possible to simply display something like "16 × AArch64
Processors"?

In Cinnamon, in case of undetected CPU model, it displays "unknown processor"
as a fallback. Just to restate why I opened this report in the first place -
KInfoCenter simply leaves the model part empty, leaving "16 ×" which simply
seems like a bug.
