I'm not sure this is correct? As I understand it the Pentium M is a pentium
pro derivative (via the P-III) as is the Core and Core 2 (the Core was the
next step on from the Pentium M, improving on it's fp performance among
onther things.)

The Atom is a pentium derivative I think. (Obviously both are far removed
from their parent chips, but the Atom is a family 5 (Pentium) and the P-M a
family 6 (P Pro)).
