There seem to be similar cases like this:

cpu_name="Intel Pentium III (Katmai) (686-class), 2660.15 MHz, id 0x10677"
cpu_brand="Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad  CPU   Q9450  @ 2.66GHz"
cpu_family=6
cpu_model=7
cpu_extfamily=0
cpu_extmodel=1

Here cpuflags suggests "-mfpmath=sse -msse3 -march=prescott", while I use
"-march=nocona" (gcc 4.1).
