get_cpu() and get_platform_info() do not work correctly on PowerPC

Benchmarks run fine, however CPU and other system info are not picked:

I also have problems wiht get_cpu().

My CPU is an AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS. I have Windows 11 x64 24H2 Build 26100.2161, and R version 4.4.1.

The output of get_cpu() is:

Unable to detect your CPU. Please raise an issue at https://github.com/csgillespie/benchmarkme
$vendor_id [1] NA

$model_name [1] NA

$no_of_cores [1] 16

The number of cores should be 8, 16 is the number of threads.

Sorry for the long delay. I don't really use Windows. Are you able to try and debug further?

@csgillespie Re initial issue, should get_platform_info() return unix or rather darwin (as I would expect)?

[csgillespie]

Darwin woud be Mac

[barracuda156]

Darwin woud be Mac

Then detection does not work correctly.

[csgillespie]

Hmm, so the function is simply get_platform_info = function() .Platform

What does it return for you? .Platform comes from base R

I cannot check at the moment, away from the hardware, but from my comment from 2023 it looks like that was returning unix and cpu was not detected at all.
