Setting powersaved to be more verbose confirms the confusion (the following is with one core loaded by an endless loop, the other core loaded lightly):
I remember Mark Langsdorf telling me that if two speeds are set for two cores on the same socket, the higher one will be activated on both. For this case the old alogrithm should still be sufficient and the concerns for 10.0 stated above should not be the case, but I maybe wrong here.
That's true for the version of the driver in SLES, but the cpufreq interface for dual-core changed in 2.6.10 and the new driver is last change wins. -Mark Langsdorf AMD, Inc.
