My BIOS is showing correctly 3.2 GHz as the maximum frequenzy. Here are some informations about my system: sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ uname -m x86_64 sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies 2700000 2000000 1400000 800000 I have written a script which uses 100% of cpu time for 1 core. Theoretically this should force the processor to go up to 3.2 GHz on this core. In the attachments is a log which shows the output from /proc/cpuinfo and top which shows that my processor is still using just 2.7 GHz.

But the software cpufreq-aperf (found in the cpufrequtils package on a Debian system) can show me these peaks, expecially if I force 5 cores to powersave and 1 on performance governor for use cpuafreq-aper must be load the msr kernel module, I think the Turbo frequency is an internal feature of a CPU, difficult to control and monitor Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1071434/comments/33 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2013-11-20T15:04:42+00:00 sworddragon2 wrote: Thanks for the hint of cpufreq-aperf.
