Append cpu description after CPUs count

Since the cpu brand string can be quite long, maybe only add a cpu description for wide layout and no GPUs in group.

@muziqaz asked for this.

V7 is already doing it. As I mentioned elsewhere, modern computers have so much screen space horizontally, that I don't think we can use space as an excuse.
However, (not sure how easy it is to implement) CPU model number on its own would be enough, we don't need any of i9 extreme editions. We just need Intel 16400k or AMD 7950x.

For reference, one of my computers has
Intel(R) Xeon(R) W-3245 CPU @ 3.20GHz

I'm imagining huge variation in brand strings.
I don't know either how to implement a general shortening function. A lookup table would be huge.

What is v7 showing?

Edit: more examples
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4578U CPU @ 3.00GHz
Apple M1

V7 is showing the whole string.
So your Xeon can be shown as Intel w-1234

Easy enough to strip (R), (TM), CPU @ and whatever follows.

Do you have an AMD example?

[kbernhagen]

Alleged on web
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz

Correction: V7 is not showing CPU string in main page of Fahcontrol. Though it has system info tab.
AMD is a bit more human:
AMD Ryzen 9 7950x3d.
So we can strip Ryzen 9 and that would be enough.

This is for support purposes more than aesthetics. If user having issues takes screenshot of web UI, we can see what CPU it is being run on

[kbernhagen]

The resources string is created in machine.js get_resources().
I'm thinking it might be best if the client supplied info.cpu_brand_short.

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor

I thought my post was too good to be true 😂
*sigh

GPU descriptions can also be quite long. Looking over gpus.json, a simple filter is not sufficient. One option would be to add a short description field to gpus.json but this would then have to be hand edited. Of course, you could automate most of the initial work by staring with the full descriptions and applying some search and replace operations. I suppose we could just leave things as they are and edit gpus.json to shorten the existing descriptions.

Obviously, there is no such file for CPU descriptions.

I would like to just show as much of the description as screen space allows and then trim the end with ellipsis if it is too long but I have not found a good way to implement this with CSS/HTML. You have to set a fixed width to get text-overflow: ellipsis to work and I don't like the idea of computing the width with Javascript and reformatting on the fly.

I thought client/fahcore grabs GPU info from the system (rocminfo, clinfo,nv-equivalent).
And looking at rocm/clinfo outputs card names are pretty short and sweet, like 6900xt. All we need to do is add AMD to it and you have a winner. With Nvidia, RTX 4070 Super or TI is enough, since everyone thinks of Nvidia when they see RTX prefix.
This request is more for us to debug donor issues. We usually ask what is donor's GPU, and sometimes they struggle to tell us. Or sometimes they just post a screenshot of FAH client UI, and if that shows RTX4070S, we are good with that info.
However, if we see gfx1030, that will force 99% of population to Google on what a hell that is, and that will just be family of cards too. And that is not ideal
