uname -m - Displays the machine ID number of the hardware running the system.

uname -u - Displays the system ID number. If this attribute is not defined, the output is the same as the output displayed by uname -m.

uname -M - Displays the system model name. If the model name attribute does not exist, a null string is displayed.

bootinfo -m - It displays the machine model code.
