Please, look at this output: $ dmesg|grep powernow [ 2.581194] powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor (6 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00) [ 2.581200] powernow-k8: Core Performance Boosting: on. [ 2.581222] powernow-k8: 0 : pstate 0 (3200 MHz) [ 2.581223] powernow-k8: 1 : pstate 1 (2400 MHz) [ 2.581224] powernow-k8: 2 : pstate 2 (1600 MHz) [ 2.581225] powernow-k8: 3 : pstate 3 (800 MHz)
It says "Core Performance Boosting: on". Now, I am thinking about the possibility that Turbo Core might be actually working on my system and perhaps the problem would be that /proc/cpuinfo might not be reporting the actual speed when Turbo Core works. As soon as I can, I will benchmark a single core command like 'tar -J' with and without Turbo Core enabled in the BIOS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/726350 Title: AMD Phenom II Turbo Core -bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/726350/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
