Are the new Dothan chips included in the Centrino naming standard?

I was under the impression that Centrino included:

Intel Pentium M
Intel 855 chipset family
Intel Pro Wireless connection

Are the Dothan chips considered Pentium M even though they're called 735, 745, 755, etc.?

The 7x5 number just replaces the clock speed in the name of the chip, they're still Pentium Ms (i.e. you'd say 'Intel Pentium M 735').

so, yes they are part of Centrino

Dothan is just the code name for the newer fab and spec'd chips...

Centrino is still the marketing brand name/term for the chipset(intel)+processor(intel)+wireless card(intel).
