"...AMD processors do allow you to change the CPUID string. It's documented in AMD techdoc 20734...
...the demonstration application manipulates MSRs..."

Updated link to AMD techdoc 20734:

I do HOPE that this leads to an easily usable piece of software that universally puts an end to Intel's 'farting in church!'
Plz do post here if so.

Sorry, you can change the CPU name string, but not the "vendor string" that says AuthenticAMD. It is the vendor string that is checked by Intel software.
