Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.24
I have a Core 2 Quad Q6600 (stock speed : 9*266MHz=2.4GHz) running @ 7*400MHz=2.8GHz. dmidecode reports the good settings but the /proc/couinfo file is wrong and indicates 3.6GHz (stock coeff x overclocked fsb). The motherboard is a Gygabyte GA-965P-DS3. /proc/cpuinfo : ========== processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz stepping : 7 cpu MHz : 3600.000 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 4 core id : 0 cpu cores : 4 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes 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 lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 7204.67 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz stepping : 7 cpu MHz : 3600.000 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 4 core id : 2 cpu cores : 4 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes 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 lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 7200.42 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: processor : 2 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz stepping : 7 cpu MHz : 3600.000 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 4 core id : 3 cpu cores : 4 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes 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 lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 7200.14 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: processor : 3 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz stepping : 7 cpu MHz : 3600.000 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 4 core id : 1 cpu cores : 4 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes 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 lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 7200.17 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: dmidecode : ========== # dmidecode 2.9 SMBIOS 2.4 present.
