900 MHz Dothan the same speed as a Pentium 900?

[Brendi]

Is a 900 MHz Dothan the same speed as a Pentium 900? .... A friend is asking me this.... I don't have the time to research his question, but I'd like to be able to help him. Does anybody know the answer to this question off the top of their head?

The "Dothan" is the original name for the Pentium "M" series, so if you are comparing to a Pentium M, then they should be the same thing. If it's a different Pentium series, then there may be a difference.

Intel launched its improved Pentium M, formerly known as Dothan, named after another ancient town in Israel, on May 10, 2004. Dothan Pentium M processors (product code 80536) are among the first Intel processors to be identified using a "processor number" rather than a clockspeed rating, and the mainstream versions are known as Pentium M 710 (1.4 GHz), 715 (1.5 GHz), 725 (1.6 GHz), 735 (1.7 GHz), 745 (1.8 GHz), 750 (1.86 GHz), 755 (2.0 GHz), and 765 (2.1 GHz). The processor supports neither hyperthreading nor SSE3.according to wikipedia the dothan's are faster than 900MHz you listed.

Hi scragar.... I guess it does appear that I didn't even bother to try and research this myself, but that is on the contrary, as I did do a little research, but I am not up to par on the speed side of cpu's. And, as that is so, I really didn't understand all the information I was reading. However, I do appreciate all the help you and NogDog offered. Good Day...
