[CentOS] Is AMD rev F the same thing as socket F?

Hello:

I am looking at the RHEL 5.4 virtualization guide. According to Chapter 17, if I want to use KVM on my machine, I need to check if it has the constant Time Stamp Counter by running this:

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep constant_tsc

When I do that on the server (Currently running CentOS 5.3), I do not get any output. According to the output, that means my system does not have the counter.

It then gives me instructions for AMD revision F CPUs. I did a search and did not find anything that seems relevant to revision F. The only stuff I am finding is talking about socket F. Is that the same things as a Socket F CPU or something different?

Thanks, Neil
