Wrong info under Lubuntu 16.04 PowerPC G4 #196

I have a PowerBook G4 with PowerPC G4 7447A shipped, and I compiled cpufetch under Lubuntu 16.04. However the info seems wrong.

Actually, this CPU has 1 core and 1 thread and Altivec is supported, while the frequency is right. Also it was manufactured by Motolora instead of IBM using 130 nm process.

The PowerPC support was mainly tested under POWER8 and POWER9 so is no suprise that it does not work in an old CPU.

I would love to help but without access to the machine is going to be very hard. Could you provide access to your Lubuntu machine? In case you are able to, please send me an e-mail or just let me know.

Maybe sell it to some Museum as a high valued artefact or with historic value for some Distinguished work to be done...
