Hi, one hopefully short technical question. I have Intel Core i7-3630QM Processor, http://ark.intel.com/products/71459 having 4 cores, 8 threads and running on clock speed 2.4 GHz. It should be automatically overclocked to 3.4 GHz in case of need, but I wonder how this works. Does it require any communication with kernel or even with user? All HW listing tools say it is 2.4 GHz processor, so I wonder how to make it 3.4 GHz one. ;-)

Nowhere any note about 3.4 GHz frequency... Why? Have a nice day, Vojtěch
Hi I'm guessing turbo boost is activated in your system BIOS? Have a look at the i7z reporting tool; http://software.opensuse.org/package/i7z This will show whether turbo is on or not as well as other info. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 12.3 (x86_64) Kernel 3.7.10-1.16-desktop up 0:36, 3 users, load average: 0.10, 0.19, 0.26 CPU AMD E2-1800@1.70GHz | GPU Radeon HD 7340 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
