If timer interrupts are not handled properly for some reason (in this case HPET timer), it is only natural that it will dramatically slow down the system. The MSI can be working, but may also require some IOAPIC configuration. Can't say much without any logs from firmware/OS. >> When You set >> the HPET option to FALSE, it probably did not touch HPET in AGESA, that >> is why the speed came back.

Sorry, I have mistakenly taken You as the initiator of the thread, who stated he has an APU2 platform.
