Re: difference between /proc/cpuinfo and AMD product specs

2010/2/4 Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

 undoubtedly going to regret asking this, but i installed f12 on a
gateway laptop, whose /proc/cpuinfo reads (in part):

model name      : AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60
stepping        : 2
cpu MHz         : 800.000
...
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca
cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt
rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good extd_apicid pni cx16 lahf_lm
cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy 3dnowprefetch

 the above *seems* to suggest an oddly slow processor (800 MHz), but
the "svm" flag tells me it has AMD H/W virt support, correct?

 however, if i pop over to the corresponding(?) AMD page:

http://products.amd.com/en-na/NotebookCPUDetail.aspx?id=18&f1=&f2=&f3=&f4=&f5=&f6=&f7=&f8=&f9=&f10=

that page suggests that that processor is 2 GHz, but that there is
*no* H/W virt support.

 i'm confused.  am i just misreading something?
