Is there any other way of collection system information like

- processor speed and architecture
- RAM
other than calling
system_profiler -xml > system.plist
This was just asked a few days ago on the darwin-userlevel mailing
list; search the archives for details. That poster wanted more info
than you list here, but the answer was that it would be more trouble
than it's worth to collect it manually. In particular it was stated
that determining the user-visible name of the processor would require
making your own lookup table, since those names are based more on
marketing than on explicit ID numbers.
Note that you don't have to make system_profiler write to a file. You
can call it with NSTask, attach an NSPipe to its stdout, and read that
with an NSFileHandle.
