Very interesting article:

Pentium M remains the best current option for Intel to catch up to AMD in terms of performance, without the chip getting so hot it requires fans that sound like a refrigerator to cool it. The chip uses the Pentium III execution core and the Pentium 4 bus interface to talk to memory and other parts of the computer. It saves power by throttling the clock speed when the system is idle.

More info: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/270

Pentium M is based on Intel’s 6th generation architecture, a.k.a. P6, the same used by Pentium Pro, Pentium II and Pentium III CPUs and not on Pentium 4’s as you may think, being originally targeted to mobile computers. You may think of Pentium M as an enhanced Pentium III.
