If you don't tell libvirt to use any particular CPU, the KVM guests will be given a crappy default CPU model, with minimal features. That is what you're seeing with "QEMU Virtual CPU" As of Folsom OpenStack will expose the best possible CPU to the guest based on what CPUs your host has available. This is a good thing because it maximises the performance of your guest. This is what you're seeing with the "Intel Core 2 DuO" string. http://wiki.openstack.org/LibvirtXMLCPUModel You really don't want to change the OpenStack config unless you actually want worse performance for your guests.
