You can the full system information by using `sysctl -a` command. And you will see the CPU make and model in property `achdep.cpu.brand_string`. 
So you an run the following command to get the CPU make and model.

```sh
sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.brand_string
```

This gives something like following

```sh
$ sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.brand_string
machdep.cpu.brand_string: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9880H CPU @ 2.30GHz
```
