1 for Hardware Buffs ...What is the difference between Dhrystone ALU ( MDIPS ),Whetst

I have an Asus F3SV Laptop that supposedly has a T7300 2 Ghz CPU and 4MB L2 cache. When I run benchmarks on it the results are highly variant depending on the software I use.
Some will give the CPU as 800mhz !!! some even less than that......
I wonder if this is a geninue T7300 at all ...lol.
Ok...I got 1 benchmarking software called FreshDiagnose that is supposed to tell me all that happening with my lap.
Running a CPU Benchmark brought the Speed the Lowest - just 700mhz compared to 10 other CPU's it had including 3 Hz Hyper threaded P4. So I was the the LOWEST end of the scale as far as MHZ is concerned.
BUT the my CPU SCORED the HIGHEST- Dhrystone ALU ( MDIPS ) & Whetstone ALU ( MWIPS ) with the same competitors

I know a bit from definitions what these mean but why is the INVERSE relationship between MHZ and MDIPS/MWIPS

The cpus in laptop (and some desktops no doubt) operate at variable speeds to keep battery consumption down.

PCWizard is a good little program to check out your specs.
