I think they added the family/model/stepping info in recent versions
of BOINC (note that the bottom of the list haven't contacted the
server since 2007)

The AMD64 in the brackets there, believe it or not, is reported by
Windows on a 64-bit version of XP running on my AMD box here. On Intel
I think it says Intel64 or something.

When I wrote the code that spits out that info for Haiku, I tried to
follow closely with what Linux currently displays.

Yep, admittedly, I left out the AMD features and friends from the code
I put in BOINC with a TODO... I just didn't have an AMD box running
Haiku handy to test with, so I decided it was safer to leave it out
for now.
