I do have an ADT7463 on a dual Opteron workstation, which seems to
work fine.

amdpm0 at pci0 dev 7 function 3: Advanced Micro Devices AMD8111 ACPI Controller 
(rev. 0x 05)
iic0 at amdpm0: I2C bus
dbcool0 at iic0 addr 0x2e dBCool(tm) Controller
dbcool0:  ADT7463 rev 10

And sensors values are similar to the ones reported by the adt7463c
driver:
