Re: [Thinkpad] New Pentium M chip: Dothan

"Together with the extra cache, these techniques can boost Dothan's
performance by around 9.5 per cent compared - when measured with MobileMark
2002 - to a Banias part of the same clock speed, Greenhalgh told The Register."

We're not exactly talking earth-shaking improvements here :-) It sounds
like the real difference will come when the Sonoma chipset ships and FSB
speed increases among other things...
