On those recent G4 models, the bogomips should be approx. equal to
the frequency. The reason, it's not on your case is that the CPU is
really running at half speed. The firmware is doing that and the
code for controlling the CPU speed properly for those new models
isn't in yet. It's beeing worked on though and should be ready
real soon.
