Would like to have more informative/formal name of the GPU in MacOS X 10.4 and 10.5, don't know if it's just on the PowerPC or if it is the same on Intel version also (don't have any intel hardware that runs 10.4 or 10.5 to test), but I do have a PowerBook G3 with 10.4 and a PowerBook G4 with 10.5 and they both display the "code" name (or what you call it) instead of the marketing name.

The PowerBook G3, displays ATY RageM6 (if I remember correctly), instead of ATI Mobility Radeon
The PowerBook G4, displays ATY RV350M10, instead of ATI Mobility Radeon 9600

That seems to be because the system_profiler command in MacOS 10.4 and 10.5 at least on these machines, displays the "code" name in the "Chipset Model" line which the code in neofetch is set to parse, but the "marketing" name IS displayed two lines up.

Created a patch for that in this issue in Tigerbrew:

But maybe it can be done in a better way?
