That sounds correct. On x86, BogoMips these days is just a measure of how fast the timestamp counter goes (multiplied by two for totally bogus reasons), and a Pentium-M should have a fixed-frequency TSC that ticks at the highest possible frequency of the CPU, regardless of what the real frequency is.

Pentium 4 and Xeon model 3 and above increment the time stamp counter
at a constant rate independent of the current cpu frequency.

All Pentium M, Xeon up to model 2 and the P6 family increment with every
internal processor cycle.

This behaviour is documented in chapter 18.8 of IA-32 Intel® Architecture
Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 3B: System Programming Guide,
Part 2, Order Number: 253669-018, January 2006.

Because of your false assumption of a fixed-frequency TSC, your
conclusions are false too. Scaling of the bogomips values should
really happen, but the start value is wrong. For 800 MHz there
should be a bogomips value of about 1598, for 1867 MHz a value
of about 3730.

You asked for a full /proc/cpuinfo, here it is ...


processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6

model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz
