Public bug reported: The OS has misconfigured/identified the CPU so utilities for managing cpu scalling show inappropriate results.
Currently my system is showing the CPU running at 57% of max speed or 3.6 GHz despite the CPU being a 3.1 GHz cpu. I have the motherboard doing automated overclocking so this the observed speed is probably accurate. root@desk:/sys/devices/cpu# grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/* /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/affected_cpus:0 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq:3279370 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq:6300000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq:1600000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_transition_latency:4294967295 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/related_cpus:0 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors:performance powersave /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq:3433764 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver:intel_pstate /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor:performance /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq:6300000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq:1600000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed:<unsupported> root@desk:/sys/devices/cpu# lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 4 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 4 Socket(s): 1 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 42 Model name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz Stepping: 7 CPU MHz: 3586.267 CPU max MHz: 6300.0000 CPU min MHz: 1600.0000 BogoMIPS: 6387.46 Virtualization: VT-x L1d cache: 32K L1i cache: 32K L2 cache: 256K L3 cache: 6144K NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-3 Flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf eagerfpu pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx lahf_lm epb tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid xsaveopt dtherm ida arat pln pts ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 1:16.10.10 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-49.52-generic 4.8.17 Uname: Linux 4.8.0-49-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8.2 Architecture: amd64 CrashDB: ubuntu Date: Tue Apr 25 12:26:11 2017 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-03-15 (41 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-MATE 16.10 "Yakkety Yak" - Release amd64 (20161012.1) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: ubuntu-release-upgrader Symptom: release-upgrade UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug dist-upgrade yakkety -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1686180 Title: CPU frequency is configured incorrectly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1686180/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
