I know this version just release and you may need some update to make the script works on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.
I run the script but it doesn't change the CPU name, here is the log

########################################################

Done.

The system is mounted read-only on Catalina by default. I haven't looked into fixing the script itself for that, and I don't know that I will have time to in the near future.

i disable SIP, and edit SpeedAndTypeFormat and UnknownCPUKind in AppleSystemInfo.strings manually but still cannot change cpu name, i think apple move the cpu name to another key in another file in version 10.15.3

I have tried the following - it looks successful, but it isn't:

Reboot into recovery and run the following in Terminal to disable SIP:

csrutil disable
reboot

Then log in and make system writeable with

sudo mount -uw /
(This will reset on restart)

You can then run the script, but it doesn't work at the moment

Finally re-enable SIP in Recovery mode again

csrutil enable
reboot

This was tested on Catalina 10.15.7
