     Type:  defect              |       Status:  closed   
 Priority:  low                 |    Milestone:  Untriaged
Component:  kernel              |   Resolution:  wontfix  
 Keywords:  National Geode AMD  |  
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Changes (by JordanCrouse):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => wontfix

Comment:

 Absolutely - /proc/cpuinfo should *always* report the vendor and model
 strings as read from CPUID.
 "Integrated Processor by National Semi" and "Geode by NSC" are well known
 and long standing identifiers for this processor, and there is no reason
 to change them.  Closing as 'wontfix'.
