Display your CPU's true speed
Authored by: nvannote on Jan 15, '04 03:56:22PM

I noticed this as well.

But, I would take their word on it. I whipped up a quick and dirty console application to get the value straight from the underlying BSD API. It does indeed return the correct cpu frequency, no matter what the sysctl utility says.

It would be an easy matter to check the Darwin source to see where the sysctl utility is going wrong.

Regards,
