cpuinfo wrong report ?

[Vu Pham]

I am playing some settings of the new motherboard.

When I change the clock multiplier, /proc/cpuinfo does show the change
of CPU Mhz accordingly and shows the same value that the motherboard
shows ( 3.2Ghz )  

But when I change ( increase ) the host clock, the cpuinfo shows the cpu
mhz dropped dramtically : 600 Mhz ( less than 1Ghz ) instead of 3.54
Ghz.

In both cases, the bpgomips values increase as expected.

Is it a bug ?


The second question: this Intel CPU will run at lower clock  ( 1.6 Ghz )
when there is little load and moves to a higher (3.2Ghz) when there is
more load. Is there any kernel settings that can keep the cpu always at
high frequency clock ?

Thanks,

Vu
