My AMD Phenom II X6 1045T has a normal maximum frequenzy of 2.7 GHz but
can boost up to 3 cores to 3.2 GHz if needed. 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.

I have two different AMD CPUs with turbo core feature enabled: a Phenom
II X6 1055T and a dualcore C-70

both have the same behaviour: if I read the frequency value from 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/*/cpufreq/* or /proc/cpuinfo I see the cores to never 
reach the "turbo" frequency. 
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

Turbo Core is working but /proc/cpuinfo doesn't support showing the correct 
frequency.

3600 MHz turbo core.

I think this bug can be closed as resolved.
