I'm not sure whether it is *this* information, but you can use NtQuerySystemInformation, with a class parameter of SystemProcessorPowerInformation, and passing SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_POWER_INFORMATION as the buffer. That gives, among others, a value CurrentFrequency (along with LastBusyFrequency, LastC3Frequency, and ThermalLimitFrequency). This usage of NtQuerySystemInformation is undocumented.
