This occurs generally with AMD 64 X2 CPUs ( see forum thread
http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/402695-kde-sysinfo-incorrect-output....
), but I have a viable workround giving full SMP operation at full operating
speed.
alter your boot command line, by altering the GRUB info for the 11.1 kernel.
When the kernel update to fix comes out, you'll be able to turn CPUFREQ back on
for power-saving and cooler running mode.
rob@fir:~> cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/System/Root resume=/dev/sdb5 splash=silent showopts vga=0x346
CPUFREQ=no
rob@fir:~> egrep 'model|cpu|bogo' /proc/cpuinfo
cpu family : 15
model : 67
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+
cpu MHz : 2812.692
cpu cores : 2
cpuid level : 1
bogomips : 5625.38

So add CPUFREQ=no to turn off, the slowness, it really made things noticeably
faster for me.
My GRUB entry for the 11.1 kernel now reads :
title openSUSE 11.1
root (hd1,7)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.7-9-default root=/dev/System/Root resume=/dev/sdb5
splash=silent showopts vga=0x346 CPUFREQ=no
initrd /initrd-2.6.27.7-9-default
