Here is the output of inxi -v7 on a Packard Bell LG71BM-C7FW:

The CPU is an Intel Celeron N2940. But I see strange lines like:

Graphics:  Card: Intel Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display

And similarly for audio. What is this "Atom Processor"? The CPU is not an atom.

Now that's a first world problem

These names are probably pulled from the hwids database based on your hardware's numeric PCI IDs. See lspci -n and /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids.

I suppose it should be possible to submit corrections to whoever maintains this.

And if forgot the most important part. Probably some Atoms had the same integrated GPU as your chip and that's why you are seeing "Atom". So it's not like the output is completely wrong, it just isn't completely correct
