Right pick one. The others are the same for software purposes
and can be handled in the same way.

With Uarch you mean the core uarch?  That doesn't really work for
something like Silvermont or Goldmont.

Right your scheme totally doesn't work on Silvermont because there
are multiple client variants.

You're right platform is misleading. I think the right level 
are SOCs, because that matches the how the model numbers are allocated.

On Big Core *Lakes are all unique SOCs.
