I can reproduce this: a non-overclocked Core 2 Duo Quad Q8600 running Hardy has two speeds available: 1.66 GHz and 2.39GHz. The actual speed of 3.01 or 3.5 GHz can only be obtained by disabling frequency scaling in the BIOS settings.
Pretty painful for those of us using it for scientific computing where a Ghz ifference is hours. Please let us know if there is a fix. It is not a hardware issue, as in Windows it works fine. -- Cpu frequency scaling is limited to stock speeds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132403 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
