There are standard ways to get this information, believe it or not.  You
might want to use "uname -m".

>From the OSX man page:
"The uname utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'')."
Example:
$ uname -m
x86_64
$ uname -m
armv41

There is also the C function "sysconf" and the shell function "getconf".
 These are POSIX too.
Example:
$ getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN
