wrong core name on i7-8565U: should be "Whiskey Lake", not "Comet Lake"

[miku]

As the title says, the Microarchitecture field seems to be off on an i7-8565U, which is an 8th gen Intel Core CPU, codenamed Whiskey Lake (not Comet Lake).

Interesting! I saw your patch (#297), but it's incorrect. The CPUID 000806EC can correspond to either Whiskey Lake (e.g., your CPU) or Comet Lake (e.g., this CPU).

I have pushed a new patch to main, can you please build from source and check if that works as expected?

Thanks for the clarification @Dr-Noob - as the CPUID is

a combination of the processor family, processor model, and processor stepping

I assumed it to be unique (per cpu designation), but seemingly I was wrong.

Patch on main now yields "Whiskey Lake", as expected on a i7-8565U.

[Dr-Noob]

Well, CPUID is supposed to be unique, and it actually is in >99% of the cases. But, for some reason I don't yet understand, Intel messed it up in the Kaby Lake/Whiskey Lake/Comet Lake CPUs and there are clashes sometimes. I would like to find an official answer for this but I don't have it at the moment. In the meantime I just try to make cpufetch as accurate as possible, so thanks for reporting. Glad to know it works properly, closing the issue 👍 .

Thanks for this awesome project.
