Wrong category?

[frag_]

Hi!

Why this category

http://www.hwbot.org/hardware/processor/pentium_m_1.7ghz

is named 'Pentium M 1.7 Banias' when all results in it actually made with Dothans?

Banias and Dothan have strong differences in L2 cache sizes (1M and 2M) and tech processes (.13 and .9).

 

Thanks!

the "banais" didn't have the 3-digit "numbering".

 

intel pentium m 1.7ghz -> banais

intel pentium 735 (1.7ghz)-> dothan

 

so, the error lies in the users which submitted into the wrong category or cpu-z in having problems identifying them correctly.

Yes, and it's not the only one. I suppose it's a CPU-Z mistake that the model numbers of Dothan CPUs are not detected correctly and people posted them in the wrong place.

 

I'll figure what the error is, report on the submissions and write another letter to Franck Delattre, don't worry

 

Karl,

the "banais" didn't have the 3-digit "numbering".

This isn't totally true

The interesting fact is that earlier versions of CPU-Z showed Pentium M 735 correctly and the latter don't. And CPU-Z doesn't differ the usual Pentium M from LV and ULV and that is bad since there were model from both families working on the same frequency.

I don't think it's cpu-z problem,

I have Banias 1.7 and cpu-z correctly shows it, I'll make screen today evening.

you can see it here

It's not a "CPU-Z with Banias" problem. It's a "CPU-Z with Dothan" problem - no model numbers.

Hmm... thus all these results are in whong place...

@anti

there are a lot of similare problems with cpu-z. after hours of digging in the database i recognized, that older cpu-z version identfied some cpus different than newer ones.
