Oh dear heavens...

Just heard the following explanation of another co-worker's new business laptop:

"It's a Centrino M 1.7. The Centrino M is a dual processor setup that normally runs only one of the processors to save battery life and when you have a bunch of crud running it will kick the second processor in. So it's really 3.4 GHz."

My head hurts.

Probably true.

The person who gave that description is our DBA. But today's her last day so it's not worth the hassle of correcting. Besides, it just makes me chuckle.

or he misquoted what the sales man said

perhaps the sales guy said it performs LIKE a pentium 3.4

Stunningly wrong in the details, but the main aspect is correct. It is a fast chip that can turn off parts to run low on power. I say leave it be.
