We'v been test driving one box with openSUSE 11.0 on an i7 920 since around 1 June. The only issue I've seen is in the /proc/cpuinfo display :
processor : 7 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 26 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz stepping : 5 cpu MHz : 1600.000 cache size : 8192 KB physical id : 0
I can't quite figure out why the cpu MHZ is quoted as 1600 when it's otherwise a 2.67GHz cpu.
I think it is power-saving feature. When there are no heavy apps running CPU is working at 1.6 GHz, but when u launch some heavy apps, it goes full speed at 2.66 GHz.
That sounds like a reasonable explanation
I have just done a few tests, and that IS indeed the explanation. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
