2020-03-04 Thread Walter Dnes
I've cobbled together a script to select cpu governors and speeds. One weird thing I've noticed is that reported cpu speed doesn't quite match the selected speed. E.g. on my machine (yours will vary)... cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies ...shows avalable sp

To reduce problems with emitted Radio Frequency Interference, most processors now use a clock that varies in speed over time. This doesn't really reduce the emitted energy, but because it is always changing frequency interference with other devices tends to be intermittent, and Ideally unnotice
