You may be shocked to discover that it lists the next 5 meetings right

If you get the FSB setting on the motherboard wrong, everything
(including the bios) will report the wrong speed of CPU. So your proof
is bogus.

You have to read the small print on the chip itself to know what speed
it really is. There are clear instructions on the AMD website of how to
interpret the numbers you see there.
