Hubs have proccessors in them?

I got a little bored when I decided to open up my Netgear EN 104TP Hub (4port 10mbps)
Noticed it has a chip in it with the AMD sign

AM79C984AJC
0006APA B3S

I was under the impression that Hubs are just repeaters....
why would it need a proc in it?

A new discovery BaLa? Let me give my linky a try (hope i don't brake it as it has no screws to unscrew the parts.)

AMD makes IC's as well as CPU's.
