This is correct for the "normal(, old)" SpeedStep technology.
Or maybe you mixed this up with the currently available cpu-freq governors?

Indeed ;)


Quote from the Intel Pentium M datasheed (25261202.pdf):

The Intel Pentium M processor features Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology.
Unlike previous implementations of Intel SpeedStep technology,
this technology enables the processor to switch between multiple frequency
and voltage points instead of two.
