3400/3740 2800/2800 2200/1980 you can switch between them with sysctl.cpu.0.freq=<freq> but your processor has turbo-boost, if you select 3400 with sysctl or powerd and you run a heavy task that need more speed, your processor automatically raise its clock rate to maximum. It seems, you not understand what I said: WHAT YOU SEE IN SYSCTL OR POWERD IS NOT THE EXACT CPU CLOCK RATE.
