Notes

The Pentium-M is run at its native 1700MHz, and at 2125MHz by virtue of a 25% increase in its external bus clock. Memory ratio is 3:5 at all times for the Pentium-M, so at 100MHz bus the memory clock is 166MHz. At the overclocked bus of 125MHz, memory clock is 208MHz.

It's put up against the latest Pentium 4 660 at 3.6GHz, a Prescott-1M-based 570J at 3.8GHz, AMD Athlon FX-55, and the Athlon 64 4000+, created by underclocking the Athlon FX-55 to 2400MHz with an 12X multiplier.
