Similar thing here at home desktop running -CURRENT:

CPU: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor            (4000.24-MHz K8-class CPU)
  Origin="AuthenticAMD"  Id=0x600f20  Family=0x15  Model=0x2  Stepping=0

acpi0: <7596MS A7596100> on motherboard

Other related bits:

I am not sure how this ^ relates to what acpi reports under thermal.
