Is there a way to get the description of the processor(s) using sysctl. I am interested in the specific processor name, not the family name. For example "Northwood", not "i386" or "x86".

No.

We care about the family and the capability bits, not the Intel marketing name for it. The first lets us grade binaries, and th second lets us write software that avoids attempting to use capabilities not present on a specific CPU.
