Not that I know of. As it seems the linux kernel does not provide those
pieces of information in an architecture independent format. I vaguely
remember a thread somewhere that discussed this issue, but I have no
idea where that was. In the current situation lscpu is the best you'll
get.
Do you care about other operating systems then linux? E.g. the MacOS™s do
not have /proc/cpuinfo at all.

Kind regards,
