Scope and conditions

scope: Exact existing CPU source identity and brand. Core count per listed processor, not per installed system. Full ancestor section path and table subgroup retained. No core count from product-name tokens, cache multipliers, socket count or family/codename knowledge. No thread/SMT count inferred. Existing observations, variants, dates, units and benchmarks unchanged.
