analyzing CPU 0:
driver: acpi-cpufreq
CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0 1
hardware limits: 1000 MHz - 1.67 GHz
available frequency steps: 1.67 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1000 MHz
available cpufreq governors: userspace, powersave, ondemand,
conservative, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 1.67 GHz and 1.67 GHz.
The governor "userspace" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 1.67 GHz (asserted by call to hardware).
analyzing CPU 1:
driver: acpi-cpufreq
CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0 1
hardware limits: 1000 MHz - 1.67 GHz
available frequency steps: 1.67 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1000 MHz
available cpufreq governors: userspace, powersave, ondemand,

* turn CPU#1 back on:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# grep processor /proc/cpuinfo

processor : 1

Question: is that normal? I thought power consumption will be
automatically reduced if one core offlined.
Thanks.
