Display your CPU's true speed
Authored by: amutti on Dec 04, '03 12:40:22PM

I don't know about everyone else, but if I reset the pmu and turn the computer on it does read the correct speed. Upon restart though, it reverts back to the old speed!!!!!!

I ran a couple of passes with XBench and the speed displayed doesn't seem to signifigantly affect performance (if at all). All test were within +/- 2 points of 96.

FYI: Powerbook 1Ghz, 1GB Ram, 60GBHD, SuperDrive, 10.3.1

Another note, the speeds began to be displayed incorrectly starting with 10.2.8.
