Display your CPU's true speed
Authored by: chabig on Dec 04, '03 11:14:13AM

Interesting to see this posted as a hint, since it's known not to accurately report 12" Powerbook CPU speeds. There are threads in the forums that have thoroughly discussed this. In particular, on the 867MHz Powerbooks, sysctl seems to consistently report 533MHz, rather than the true 867MHz.

Still, I guess it's an interesting hint for most machines.

hw.cpufrequency is also no official paramater for sysctl. It is not listed in the manpage.
