This is the real set of EIST supported levels. > dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 3000/35000 2667/28000 2333/22000 2041/19250 2000/16000 1750/14000 1500/12000 All the rest of these are throttling. I would recommend you to disable it by setting: hint.p4tcc.0.disabled=1 hint.acpi_throttle.0.disabled=1 -- Alexander Motin _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
