Re: Weird stuff in /proc/cpuinfo


I've got the same type of processor... cat /proc/cpuinfo gives...

model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) III Mobile CPU      1200MHz
cpu MHz         : 799

I thought the processor speed clocked down when the machine was unplugged, so in my case, it runs at 1.2 GHz when plugged in, and only 800 MHz when I'm running on batteries... In this case, I started XP unplugged and then plugged it in later...

Should be fixed in CVS now.

And another thing I just noticed: on my PIII-733 laptop (a Mobile PIII), /proc/cpuinfo says:


processor       : 0
....
model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) III Mobile CPU      1133MHz
...
cpu MHz         : 731

Where does it get this 1133 from, I wonder. There's this other nice tool (Aida32) that also gets this wrong in the CPU info panel: it claims:

CPU Properties
   CPU Type	Mobile Intel Pentium III-S, 733 MHz (5.5 x 133)
   CPU Alias	Tualatin, A80530
   Original Clock	1133 MHz
   L1 Code Cache	16 KB
   L1 Data Cache	16 KB
   L2 Cache	512 KB (On-Die, ATC, Full-Speed)

Is this bad info coming from the BIOS, or something that both tools are miscalculating?
