It's the identification string embedded in the CPUID, which is reported in DMI section 4:

[threepio:~] rpokala% sudo dmidecode -t 4 | grep Version
	Version: AMD Ryzen 9 7900 12-Core Processor

[threepio:~] rpokala% kenv | grep smbios.processor.version
smbios.processor.version="AMD Ryzen 9 7900 12-Core Processor             "
