Centrino is the network component, Pentium is the processor part which I believe is 686.
According to wikipedia: "Centrino is a platform marketing initiative from Intel for a particular combination of CPU, mainboard chipset and wireless network interface in the design of a laptop personal computer." I think the CPU is certainly 686, but that doesn't help you much when setting the optimal CPU to compile the kernel for: 386 486 586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX Pentium-Classic Pentium-MMX Pentium-Pro Pentium-II/Celeron(pre-Coppermine) Pentium-III/Celeron(Coppermine)/Pentium-III Xeon Pentium M Pentium-4/Celeron(P4-based)/Pentium-4 M/Xeon K6/K6-II/K6-III Athlon/Duron/K7 Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8 Crusoe Efficeon Winchip-C6 Winchip-2 Winchip-2A/Winchip-3 GeodeGX1 Geode GX/LX CyrixIII/VIA-C3 VIA C3-2 (Nehemiah) In this case it sounds like Pentium M or Pentium4 M. /Per Jessen, Zürich
