Phoronix: Rework For Intel CPU Model Handling To Land With Linux 6.10

Intel engineers have been reworking Intel CPU model handling for Linux after using "Family 6" since the mid-90's with the P6 micro-architecture and continuing to rev the model ID only with new micro-architectural generations. It's an end of the era for Family 6 coming up and thus there's a lot of Linux patches being worked on to address assumptions within the kernel code that was only checking for an Intel CPU's model ID and not for any family ID differences...

Looking forward to seeing if being the first to backside power delivery with Arrow Lake makes Intel competitive again after getting their ass kicked by AMD for the last several years.

I just want an ultra-thin, ultra-light MacBook sized 16” laptop with a fan, and Intel stuff that hits like 80° max at full load.
