processor architecture name · Tue Apr 15, 01:04 AM

So I’ve had my nice new penryn based MacBook for about two months now… and this evening… err morning… was a little bored

command result
uname -p i386
machine i486
arch i386
sysctl hw.machine i386

What gives… where does machine pull from? and the man page for arch states “For examples of the property list format, look at the files in /System/Library/archSettings” I don’t have that file… I would be interested to see what it contained.
