He probably meant MHz.  But the same thing.  What difference does a
tenth of a MHz matter?

I do have a question about BogoMIPS.  I know they don't mean anything,
but why on my Opteron system with two processors that read the same on
the cpu MHz line, do my bogomips vary so much?

processor       : 0
cpu MHz         : 1393.980
bogomips        : 2736.12

processor       : 1
cpu MHz         : 1393.980
bogomips        : 3145.72
