What I've written previously is incorrect. In fact, I set /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor to performance, the CPU boomed up to 2GHz and, after ~ one second, the clock sank down to 800MHz again...
Not only that, I had a look in /proc/cpuinfo and I still get the CPU MHz bug! processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 13 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.00GHz stepping : 8 cpu MHz : 800.000 cache size : 2048 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov$ bogomips : 3996.01 Please, help me on this, I'm using a 2Ghz CPU at less than a half of its power!!! -- kernel can't scale cpu frequency https://launchpad.net/bugs/36014 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
