I am marking this bug as invalid. /proc/cpuinfo is reporting the correct speed of your cpu because cpu frequency scaling is turned on. This causes your CPU to scale back to a lower frequency during periods of activity to reduce temperature and power draw. 1.6 GHz is the lowest frequency that the E7200 scales to by default. If you want to turn off cpu frequency scaling, then echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor.
