Depends on virtualizing platform and settings.

For Virtual Box...
try:
cat /proc/cpuinfo

Power off VM. Restart VM. Then run:
VBoxManage modifyvm "VMname" --synthcpu on

check again:
cat /proc/cpuinfo

Hides some things but does not hide CPU frequency.

At high cost of speed, that may be different for full emulators such as
Bochs or qemu, if they emulate a whole cpu instant of virtualizing them.
