This was discussed on the mailing list a long ago.

Just it have support for some instructions upper than Pentium II but  
not all, so that is why developers decided to stay with CPUID saying  
Pentium II.

Think itself like a steroid-Cyrix 5x86 (it was a 486 with support for  
some Pentium instructions but not all).
