What Dies said. In fact I can confirm that the crash at 12% was because of AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext -- I hosed my system recently because of just that (and I have an Intel Pentium M..). So in short for updating, follow Intel guides, don't just blindly run software update for critical updates. The kernel erases distinction between AMD and Intel -- NOT between vanilla and patched setups.
Also @naquaada. re: processor identification. AMD is identified as Core Solo or Core Duo on purpose. For that part of the kernel, we had the option to report the processor either as one of Apple-supported CPUs, or report it as Unknown. There is no way to identify the cpu as anything else. Unknown doesn't work for some apps (installers specially) so we went with Intel Core..
