I think in this case "confirm" just means it is a second source saying it is a 4GHz Pentium 4. The first source of that information is just marker written on the CPU and thus considered less reliable.

I get what you mean, for me a confirmation would be if the CPU meta data was signed with an Intel key that could be verified.
