It is definately present on a number of systems. A Google search for "AMD Athlon(tm) Prosussor" has 612 results, and "AMD Athlon(tm) Proswssor" has 286 results :P I encountered this on a dedicated server from Layered Technologies, by the way.

The two spelling errors are apparently defects in the BIOS of the computers you are seeing this in. AMD CPUs come with a very generic name in their CPUID; AMD requires the BIOS/OS to set the more specific name based on a number of factors. I think those are bugs/pranks, have not heard of problems with those BIOS/motherboards otherwise.
