------- Comment #73 from andreas.herrma...@amd.com  2009-03-03 04:21 -------
FYI, the 600MHz value for Pstate2 is from an ACPI table (containing
_PSS (Performance Supported States) objects). For each Pstate it contains
also the frequency, but the family 11h BKDG says about this value
"CoreFreq (MHz) = The CPU COF specified by MSRC001_00[6B:64][CpuFid]
rounded to the nearest 100 Mhz."

This is a rounded value and explains the observed difference. I think, the
powernow-k8 driver should determine the frequency from the Pstate MSR directly
and not from this ACPI table. (BTW, the tool x86info determines the frequencies
directly from the Pstate MSRs.)
