Intel has quietly started selling a new version of its mobile Pentium M chip (http://www.anandtech.com/news/shownews.aspx?i=22559) so that select manufacturers can cut the price of their notebooks.

"The Pentium M 705 runs at 1.5GHz and contains 1MB of cache. The chip is based on the Banias generation of Pentium Ms, which first hit the market in 2003. Both Dell and HP sell it in current notebooks. Intel produces the chip to accommodate computer manufacturers on special request, an Intel representative said."

Is this conflicting information or another CPU?

Citing design problems, Intel has pushed back the release of its second major notebook chip this year. The Alviso chipset for Pentium M notebooks, slated for autumn, won't hit the market until 2005.
