The micro is an Athlon x2 240 AM3 in a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H. It appears the bios must be updated for correctly recognizing the cpu.
It affects cpu speed? or only displays false data in cpuinfo?

Thanks in advance.

There may be nothing "wrong." I don't know if the new Athlons have the cpu's independently clocked, by my Phenom does. The older Athlons did not. Are you using on-demand frequency control?

lol u're right. I switched from a duron 1200 and never saw anything like this.
In a near future they'll start to have feelings and adjust its clock according to its :P

Thanks for the answer :)
