Regarding the Family 15...

With the Pentium IV, Intel rearranged some of the meanings of return values of CPUID, most notably abandoning the sequential "family" number. Pentium IVs (and higher) return $F or 15 in the family field; Intel says this signifies that "extended family information is available", in reality what it does is cause poorly-written software to crash. Most notably, Linux servers & operating systems installed with Pentium IVs originally failed to boot, not understanding the "1586" CPU they were presented with (expecting a single-digit family like 686 or 786).

The fact that there is no model is normal and the stepping doesn't really help in determining the speed.

Basically, it's a P4.
