Wrong values for processor in device manager

Odd one upgraded for an amd 5200 to a 6000. Device manager shows the 5200
still.

BIOS recognises it as a 6000, so does other cpu recognition software ie
NVIDIA ntune, cpuz etc.

Any ideas???
 
I don't know that you need to worry it will run at the speed it is designed
to run it the OS does not change the speed of the CPU.

Yeah I am aware of that just wondered why it was still showing my old
processor.

Processor Identification is also related to the bios settings.
 
I have a similar thing - I have a Sony Vaio TZ-150 which is specified as
U7500 at 1.06ghz. It appears as such on the Control Panel>System screen, but
under Device Manager > Processors it appears as two U7600 @ 1.20ghz. Any idea
where this comes from?
