Actually, the string that's printed out is whatever the chip reports
as its type, verbatim.

Intel doesn't like spaces.  (more likely, they didn't want to have to
make it 4 longs that had to be read, or, by adding the space have
the first 8 bytes read 'Genuine ', and thereby allow clones to match
them in the first two longs, or something...)


But that string, as printed, is _correct_.
