He probably meant MHz. But the same thing. What difference does a tenth of a MHz matter?
I do have a question about BogoMIPS. I know they don't mean anything, but why on my Opteron system with two processors that read the same on the cpu MHz line, do my bogomips vary so much?
processor : 0 cpu MHz : 1393.980 bogomips : 2736.12
processor : 1 cpu MHz : 1393.980 bogomips : 3145.72
