Try running

perl -e 'while(1) { $a++ }'

In one window on that system, and look at /proc/cpuinfo in another. You'll probably find that the CPU speed ramps up on at least one, if not all, of the cores to full speed. If you have TurboBoost enabled, you may even see some CPUs exceed the frequency in the model string.

AMD processors do not include the frequency in the model string at all:

processor       : 11
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 16
model           : 8
model name      : Six-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2431
stepping        : 0
cpu MHz         : 2394.001

Hi folks,

When I do cat /proc/cpuinfo on my IBM HS-22 blade servers I see:

model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5670  @ 2.93GHz

compare the last number on that line

cpu MHz         : 1596.000

with the current speed on this line


where as on the older HS-21 servers I see:

model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5440  @ 2.83GHz
cpu MHz         : 2833.505

Why do I see the cpu MHz to be a lot less on the HS-22 than what the
model name info represents? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Win
