Perhaps I'm late here but why not simple use the following command via
shell class:
/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType|grep "CPU Type"
      CPU Type: PowerPC G5  (2.2)

Not sure what's the reply on an Intel Mac but I don't think it is G5...

Cheers,


The issue I have with this sort of approach is that these utilities are intended to be human-readable, not machine-readable... and there isn't any documentation that enumerates the set of processor-related strings that can
possibly be returned.

Try
        system_profiler -xml

very nice to deal with in a program
