How to "convert" processor/chipset name to /proc/cpuinfo output?

How to "convert" processor/chipset name to /proc/cpuinfo output?

I'm trying to choose a laptop and see "Chipset" and "CPU" being listed as
a codename.
Sometimes there is an article in Wikipedia about the processor or chipset
mentioning it's features, sometimes not.
How to know in advance what "cat /proc/cpuinfo" will output (i.e. what
features the processor will exactly support) without actually buying the
device?
For example, how to know in advance if hardware is capable for video
adapter pass-thought into KVM virtual machine?
