It is generated by the linux_logo program, called from rc.local. What's
happening in that particular case is that the chip's Manufacturer ID is
set to AMD and the chip name is set to AMD Athlon, resulting in the
double AMD. I know that it has just recently been updated by the author
to 3.9b, so you might want to see if the new version still does it.
You may also be able to adjust it by changing the parameters it is called
with. For example, I get a banner across the top of my screen with the
system information below. The man page lists 18 command-line options in
addition to the help and version. The -F option would allow you to
customize the system info format.
