While it has some P4-like extensions, the P-M core is P6 not NetBurst. This is trivially deducible from various Intel documents, including the P-M spec update, the IA32 Volume3 manual, and the Code Optim manual. Also, CPUID reports family 6 not 15. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
