Kernel 3.7 and AMD cpu's

[VinDSL]

I tried the rc6 yesterday, and I do have the amd-microcode installed, and still no joy.

Same odd naming on an i5, so it's not AMD-specific

Interesting!

I never realized that AMD & Intel microcode are both available.

I just installed Intel microcode via Synaptic and it seems to be working fine...

vindsl@Zuul:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name' | cut -c 13-60
 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz
 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz

vindsl@Zuul:~$ dmesg | grep microcode

A couple of days ago, the amd-microcode was replaced by linux-firmware.

Is the "coast clear", so to speak?

I'd really like to upgrade to an 8-core AMD mobo...

No need to shout...
Isn't „it's“ more proper than „its“ in Your sentence...?
