Hi and welcome.
When you run the benchmarks, are you on battery or 120V power?
I'll go ahead and answer anyway.
The laptop has a Mobile Pentium III processor which utilized Intel's Speed Step technology.
This saves power by running the CPU at a lower clock speed when demand is down and when on battery power.
Be assured that when you are really crunching the numbers, the CPU will be running at 1200MHz.
You can download Intel's CPU identifier here so you can verify for sure that you have the CPU that you think you have.
