0x8F is the model number of the CPU that is named Sapphire Rapids that
goes into the Eagle Stream platform

If you want a uarch name, that might be the name of the core
(.... something-cove ... I can't keep track of the names of all the
coves). But that would likely lead to different confusion later if that
*cove core is used in some other CPU model number that doesn't
neatly fit into our _X, _L etc. suffix scheme)
