cat /proc/cpuinfo
Look for a clock rate higher then the chip's rated clock speed.
You must have cpuspeed enabled (re: redhat: service cpuspeed start)
On multi core chips, turbomode comes into play when the chip is lighty
loaded and the idle cores can be clocked down and that power divereted
to the core(s) actually running code. On an idle system, you may
notice that all the cpus in /proc/cpuinfo" say they're running at the
higher clock speeds; it's an illusion; they ain't doin' nuttin.

Does anyone know much about Turboboost on Nehalem?
I would like to have some indication that this is working, and
perhaps
measure what effect it has.
I have enabled Turboboost in the BIOS, however when I modprobe
acpi_cpufreq I get
What's a good way to confirm if my procs are actually in a turbo
state at a given point of time. It doesn't get reported back through
the usual BIOS channels does it?
