hi I have an i7 3520m but in /proc/cpuinfo I can look always the maximum normal speed and not the turbo speed.
how can check if the turbo boost feature are working well?
thanks
You can test i7z https://code.google.com/p/i7z/
It works on my i5-3470.

Just download the binary precompilated version and launch it for test the turbo boost features??
Another question if I can: I tried to launch a heavy software to stress the CPU but the frequency that I can read in /process/couinfo is always the normal maximum and not the turbo boost frequency, it’s normal?
Hi
You mean as an rpm…?

i7z should show the details, yes /proc/cpuinfo will probably not.
hi all I have installed this nice tool but when I run it I can look for only the max “normal” frequency.
I look in the output:
Turbo enabled 2991 MHz
Max turbo Multiplier (if enabled) with 1/2/3/4 Cores is 36x/34x/34x/34x
but the frequency updated in real time max became 2900 Mhz and not 3600 Mhz.
I’d like to ask you:
1- maybe the turbo boost is enabled by cpu only in very highload work? so how can test the turbo boost in opensuse?
2- reading the output of i7z it seems that Turbo Boost is enabled, what can be a reason that the frequency don’t became 3600Mhz?
thanks
