Well, here's my 
CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor (3216.13-MHz K8-class CPU)

[~]>sysctl dev.cpu
dev.cpu.0.%desc: ACPI CPU
dev.cpu.0.%driver: cpu
dev.cpu.0.%location: handle=\_PR_.P001
dev.cpu.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0

Sorry, forgot these:

FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #0 r198930M: Sat Dec 12 12:49:49 BRT 2009     
root at papi:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LOBO  amd64

and amdtemp.c is modified to accept a 4 core CPU.
