The output is the technical version of the processor.
Intel 64 - Indicates it is a 64-bit processor
Family 6 - Not entirely sure what constitutes a family for Intel (Possible like the Core family. Core i7, Core 2, etc)
Model 15 - CPU Model number (6000 Series)
Stepping 13 - Revision number. A minor change to the CPU model.

A quick google search of the version information pointed me to Wikipedia which indicates it is a Core 2 Duo T5470.
You would get a much easier to read CPU version by using 'name' instead of 'caption'. Examples:
CPU caption on my machine - Intel64 Family 6 Model 94 Stepping 3
CPU name - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
