Perhaps the problem has to do with the fact you have an AMD processor. 
My Pentium 4 reports precisely the correct (over-clocked) value for cpu 
MHz. The model name string reports the nominal processor speed.

I don't know how to interpret these, but perhaps you can ascertain the 
accuracy of what it reports on my system. It's a Pentium 4 Northwood 
mPGA-478, 0.13 micron design, 133 MHz / 533 MHz manufactured in July 
2002. Cygwin's /proc/cpuinfo reports these flags:

flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge 
mca cmov pat pse36 clfl dtes acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss htt tmi

I attached the (WinZip-compressed) HTML output produced by the CPU-z 
1.17 (<http://www.cpuid.com/>) for this processor.

Perhaps this will help you or someone to ascertain whether the 
/proc/cpuinfo report is consistent with my processor's true nature. 
(For what it might be worth...)
