CPU Clocking speed is under advertised?

I bought this laptop at Best Buy a little over a month ago and I just realized that the clocking speed is 600 MHz under what the advertised speed was and you guys have advanced settings whitelisted(which I completely don't agree with, it'd be my own risk anyways as you can tell if the settings were altered) so how am I supposed to get it to what was advertised? Is there any way of getting in the advanced settings?

Hi,
Have you read:
http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/turbo-core
"AMD Turbo Core technology dynamically adjusts to give you a performance boost just when the operating system requests the highest processor performance. If a core is operating below maximum limits and your workload demands additional performance, the processor frequency will dynamically increase until the upper limit of frequency is reached. As your workload subsides, the core returns to normal frequency. This gives you optimized application performance within the thermal and power limits of your APU."

Adjust CPU clock speed for saving Power

Does anyone know which software is the best for adjusting the cpu clock speed in Mac book pro? I want to decrease to half of the original speed in MBP so that I can save power when I'm on the battery.
Thanks

well I do understand what you mean but then I would like to have a software to control the clock speed like I control my fan speed although the default setting does that automatically. I don't really want to use it without a battery because apple does not recommend that also.
Thank you

CPU Clock speed with Belle Update

The original symbian^3 devices run on the ARM 11 Processor which has been optimized to function close to 1GHz. But they're currently running at a speed of 680 MHz. My request to Nokia is that please optimize our processor speed to atleast 1GHz with the upcoming belle update. If you haven't planned on doing it, please do it with a minor update atleast after you release belle. I'm not an expert on this. So suggestion and comments are welcome.

I would be surprised if the rest of the hardware in the phone, like the RAM etc, couldn't support the maximum CPU clock speed. When such sophisticated electronic devices are designed it's impossible to know until it's all been put together how it will actually perform as a complete unit - the hardware, software, battery capacity, etc. The clock speed allows a fine-tuning once everything comes together, to get the optimal balance.
Well-made software makes a huge difference to how much CPU/hardware resources are required. Software efficiency is the most important factor of all.
A GPU is only there to perform tasks that would otherwise take up huge amounts of CPU resources. Dedicated graphical tasks such as 2D scrolling, 3D texture-mapping/filling for example. But that's all. The CPU is still running the whole show, but just has much of the load taken off it by the GPU.
So with the GPU doing more and more, the CPU and it's speed become less relevant.
A few things here, some of what you have mentioned I agree with. But some I dont. Firstly when any device is designed, things like the GPU and RAM are all allowed for, that is the speed at which each is capable. There is no use taking pot luck saying oh we think that will be enough. Its all calculated right from the word go.
Its done for several reasons, firstly costings, there is no use producing something that is so expensive no will be able to afford it. secondly to make sure you dont end up with bottle necks in data flow. Also it no use producing something that is so slow that you cant do anything worthwhile on it. That is some of the reasons.
You are absolutely right about software, well made software installed in a relatively slow running device can quite often beat poorly designed software running on a fast machine at exactly the same task. O/S like windows for instance, in my opinion only, whilst full of features, is definitely bloated, and not well designed. A standard install disc for windows these days is around the 3Gig mark (depending on version of OS), where as something that does exactly the same thing like Linux still fits on a 700M cd.
And you are right about the GPU, its does relieve the pressure on the cpu. Unfortunately the gpu in an N8 or an E7 is only running at 200Mhz. Considering most things are graphical based on these phones. I would have to wonder how much of the gpu is being used, especially when the one chip is running everything from the 2d/3d graphics/rendering, the camera up to 12MP, HDMI, HD video recording and play back, a stack of video codecs etc.
Unfortunately the main cpu from everything i was able to find is simply listed as an ARM11, these processors run on several Nokia's phone, including the older E90 (which had dual cpu's but ran at much slower speed of about 332 Mhz., however the Arm site list the ARM 11 as several versions, including one that actually has 4 cpu on the one the chip but only presents itself as 1 cpu to the rest of the hardware, with this cpu running anywhere up to 1Ghz. So its entirely possible that the 680Mhz listed for the N8/E7 could be as fast as it goes. Also the current versionof the ARM11 have a power consumption of 0.21mW/Mhz. so based on that figure a processor running at 680Mhz would consume 142.8 mW, but at 1G it would be 210mW, that a difference of 67.2mW. That would mean your phone would go flat a lot quicker. This info is based solely on information that I can find on Nokia run sites, ARM's site and broadcoms site. That way we can beleive what we are able to read with some certainty. I did find other non-related site suggesting 720mhz for the cpu, but they are only a 3rd party mobile news site, that said it had been suggested that it was capable of 720Mhz..
But i do firmly believe with efficient code the phones can perform extremely well, Anna certainly seems faster than the old Symbian ^3 version that was on the phone prior to Anna, whether or not Belle can be made any more efficient remains to be seen. But heres hoping.

Does CPU clock speed(ghz) affect gaming quality?

Hey guys,
i was just wondering if CPU speed really matter when you play games. I am only going to play fifa, which isn't as graphic intense as other PC games.
Anyways, last year's MacBook Air had 1.7ghz as its processor, and i heard that it ran fifa 13 just fine.
However, this year's processor is only 1.3ghz, which is a lot lower than what i expected....however, according to real tests, the actual laptop speed increased about 5%. It was very surprising to me, but i guess it was cuz of the new gpu.
So, my question is, does CPU clock speed really affect gaming quality? Or if the actual speed increased 5%, does it not matter?
Thanks in advance!

You need to take into account the # cores when considering processing power. Computers run many processes at once. A duel core processor clocked at 1.7 GHz is not necessarily better than a quad core processor clocked at 1.3 GHz. The best analogy is driving. A two lane road with a the speed limit of 170 MPH. A four lane road with a speed limit of 130 MPH. When there is no traffic, you will arrive at your destination faster taking the first route. But when there is a bunch of traffic, you will be stuck in a bumper to bumper jam. Even though the speed limit is higher on the two lane road, you will arrive at your destination faster taking the four lane road. There are more lanes available to maintain the flow of traffic.
There is always traffic. Your computer runs many processes in the background, and individual games run multiple processes at once. Processing power is a combination of both the speed limit and the number of lanes.
And yes, the GPU should always be taken into account. It is a Graphics Processing Unit. Rendering graphics on your screen correctly is very important in regards to gaming. A discrete GPU is preferable to an a single integrated one, always, for gaming.

CPU Clock speeds

This is a simple one for you guys today.
I have noticed on these forums that most clock speeds are at least 133. My BIOS is showing
Current CPU clock 1250
CPU FSB clock 100
I am no master of the darker regions of the BIOS but should I be running a bit faster looking at my set up below?

Cheers Guys
Both jumpers J10 and J11 were set to 133/166 already. I think it must have defaulted at sometime. I installed SP2 the other day, don't know if that effected it
I changed the set up to manual and changed to 1:1, (the ratio was set to 'By SPD').
Happy days

Dual Core Center displaying wrong CPU clock speed

Hi,
I've got the 965 Platinum board and I have overclocked my E6300 Allendale to 2.331ghz (from 1.86ghz). My problem is that the MSI Dual Core Center is showing my CPU as being clocked at 2.997mhz. It seems to think that, because I've upped the FSB to 333mhz, I must have a CPU with a multiplier of 9 instead of the 7 of the E6300.
If Dual Core Center is not reading the CPU clock correctly how can I trust that it's reading the temperature right (which is really the only reason Ihave it loaded at all). I know the CPU is only set at 2.331 because the BIOS gets it right, System Properties gets it right and Intel's Thermal Analysis Tool gets it right. It's only the Dual Core Center that gets it wrong.

Make sure you are using the newest version of DCC.
Other than that, DCC might not be the best tool to monitor your system.

How to change CPU clock speed for conserving power?

Hi, I own a compaq CQ60 404CA and I am wondering how I can change the settings for minimal cpu speeds.
I know it automatically sets it's speed down to half when not being used. I want to decrease that even further.
Is that possible?
I tried Nvidia system tools, but it gives a wrong reading regarding the CPU speeds (2.8ghz when its actually 1.05ghz)
Thanks
I've tried:
1. Changing CPU power settings down to 1%, and even then it stayed at half speed
2. Checked Bios, but didn't find settings

Yes it is possible, try steps in amd forum guide, here

5800XM CPU clock speed

My Handset is Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Software Version 21.0.025. "X-plore v1.35" shows that my CPU speed is only 192MHz (X-plore/Menu/Tools/Device info). FExplorer also shows the SAME. But Nokia and other mobile sites (gsmarena) tell that 5800XM's CPU speed is 369MHz/434MHz! Which one is correct? Please help me by providing CORRECT INFORMATION. Thanks in advance.

X-Plore and similar tools have trouble identifying the CPUs on more recent devices. It was 369MHz when it was first released, but a software update brought it up to 434MHz (the rated speed of the chip).

CPU clock speed throttling severely

My T410s seems to throttle down to below 300mhz when ever I try to do anything intense such as playing a 3D game.
My CPU temp has never gone above 80C.
The laptop rests on a dock with sufficent air flow and cooling.
I have the latest BIOS from Lenovo.
Any ideas?
-Michael Archambault

You are not the only one with this particular model facing this issue, if you search a few topics back you will also see others...
If your laptop runs within 80-90 degrees you definitely have overheating problem... if it exceeds 90-95 degrees you will probably start experiencing shutdowns.
CPU overheating was also an issue with previous T400, T500 models.
There were posts about T60s running hot until bios update was available - much later though...
Since your T410s are relatively new and dust should be excluded, I'd suggest reapplying thermal paste.
(From my personal experience) it seems the manufacturers don't use enough and it dries quickly.

Cpu clock speed

I am going to purchase a used Mac Mini. In terms of performance, will I see much difference between a 2.3 MHz quad core i7 and a 2.6MHz Quad Core i7? I plan to use the machine as a server for my house. Thank you.

General performance increase may be found by improvement in areas such as
hard drive upgrade (if 5400-RPM, install 7200-RPM) and upgrade RAM capacity.
As a server, if the Mini has two hard drives installed, or if previously upgraded
either by Apple when new, or by former owner to include SSDs or fusion drive,
then this may help at most any load. Some aspects of OWC SSD products as
shown on their site may be of advantage due to the technologies and lack of a
need to use Trim when their SSD are present.
Some of the sites which compared hardware specs when these models were
new, or just after the Oct 2014 release of the Mac Mini replacement models,
show test results by model; usually by graphic representation of specs.
The dual hard drive model can be used as a RAID, so you can have duplicates.
As a server, you may not need to be running the latest OS X version, but you
should read to see if the hardware you (are seeking) get has issue w/ Yosemite.
For some server & administration information see this site:
https://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/4.0/
My interest is slight, as a fairly recent acquisition of Mac Mini Late 2012 2.3/QC
Server, directly from Apple clearance page at Apple Store online. This was to be
able to choose a newer OS X than my older hardware could run, going forward.
Mine is server model, dual 1-TB HDD, 4GB w/ OS X 10.9 as shipped. An ability to
upgrade is why the purchase. However you could get the server software itself
if you had any computer that could use those versions available from App Store.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Athalon XP clock speed problem

I hav just installed a K7N2 Delta Mobo in my system, but I'm having CPU clock speed problems.
The Bios and the Infoview program both state that the CPU clock is running at 1105 Mhz. I am sure this should be 1533 Mhz for an 1800xp.
I updated the bios using MSI live update, and the first time I booted the system, the bios displayed the speed as 1533 Mhz, but on every subsequent boot up it is back down to 1105 Mhz again.
How can I get my processor to run at the correct speed?
Thanks

Sorry, just realised I have posted in the wrong forum.

Re: helix CPU speed stuck at low clock speed

Admin edit - Reorganizing this thread slightly as we are actively investigating the symptoms being discussed here. Several different low end clock speeds of 600-800mhz are being reported capped under a variety of circumstances - sometimes cold boot, sometimes after suspend / resume or dock / undock
motku wrote:
Same here (helix ci7), after suspend and wakeup when CPU slows down ist get stuck at 750MHz and dose not recover untill reboot.
Before the BIOS update I could unplug the AC adapter and work with full speed on battery.
I have the exact same issue. It is quite annoying.

Mark, theres more.
I found a "pseudo workaround" of this problem and hope this could lead to the real workaround.
What helped - installing win7, lenovo power manager, change power plan to other and change back to previous)
I tried to do some research and what i found:
In normal Lenovo power manager wheres 2 options in power plan:
System perfomance (Maximum turbo, Turbo, Balanced, Low) (lets call it PERF) and Optimise fan control to (Maximize perfomance, Balance all parameters) (lets call it FCNTL.
In theory FCNTL must control only fans, like table of data cpu temperature/fan speed. But in reality it affects CPU speed.
Only way to make PC always select speed from lowest to highest is to set PERF=Maximum turbo or Turbo, FCNTL=Maximize perfomance.
Lets go through options how they really works in practice:
PERF
Maximum turbo and Turbo are equal, means highest speed for CPU with turbo boost. The level of turbo bust is always maximum, Turbo didnt mean "slow turbo boost".
Low - cpu always at lowest speed 800mhz - thats ok.
Balanced - this option works a little crazy. In some situations it means "maximum cpu till 63C", in some situations it means "lowest speed, temperature doesnt matter. Why is it working in different ways but in same settings i dont know.
In theory Balance is something like "from lowest cpu speed till normal cpu speed, no turbo boost", but it doesnt work like that at all.
FCNTL
Maximize perfomance - in theory it must be "try to keep CPU on lowest temp when high load"
In practice its like "Balanced in PERF" - logic is unknown.
Balanced - the same, logic is unknown.
Unknown really means, that when i, for example, setup PERF=Maximum turbo or turbo and FCNTL to Balanced, sometimes it works in full speed and sometimes not.
Maybe there is logic, but it tottaly unknown to users.
The bad thing is that theres no way i can set mode "always run cpu from lowest speed till highest speed without turbo boost, 800-1800mhz".
By the way, there is some error in Lenovo power manager - when i change options in power plan and click "apply", sometimes they a apply, and sometimes not. If not, i need to select other power plan, and then select the needed one back.
Now about how this all can happend. I'm not shure that i'm right, but logically it is:
In Lenovo power manager theres option called "Optimise fan control to". And, there is NO such option in real windows power plan, so, it can be only changed through Lenovo power manager. As i see, this option affects maximum cpu speed. So, lets say, if this option is "damaged" some way, theres no way it can be fixed in windows 8, because Lenovo power manager for windows 8 has too few options, and native windows power plan editor doesnt have this option at all. So, when i done "something" in Lenovo power manager for windows 8, it changed that setting and all ruined.
Sorry for my bad english once more, hope you can understand what am i trying to say. Looks like we have 1) an error in power manager for win8 and 2) incorrect power option logic, or "specific" logic without a manual.
The strange thing, that in BIOS we have this options too. But changes in BIOS doesnt affect this at all.
P.S. by the way, when i got my helix, dock battery was having "wear level" = 1%. Now, after 6 days (battery info 5 cycles) it has "wear level" = 2%. Is it normal, or battery is bad?

ST06 Disk I/O, clock speed of CPU's

Hello All,
I want to know how to determine
1.Disk IO-Speed in GByte/h (maximum uncached read speed).
2.Clock speed of the CPU in Giga Hertz.
3. SPAM version(I have no access to SPAM transaction)
The above 2 can be obtained from ST06, but can anybody help me how to determine the maximum Disk I/O speed and the clock speed in Giga Hertz. Sometimes in ST06>Detailed Analysis>HW Info--> CPU, shows clock speed in hertz. How do i convert into Giga hertz.
Regards
Thilip Kumar

Hi there
1000000Hz = 1000Mhz = 1Ghz
Determine the disk speed is not an easy task, it heavily depends on what kind of disk you have. And there is different IO like sequential, random write/read.
You could ask your hardware vendor for some benchmark data. If you only have single disks, then you can google for the data.
A simple test is to copy a large file and mesure the time. If you want to do more extensive tests you can check out [iozone|www.iozone.org].
Best regards

Why is my CPU clock only running at 2.9 GHz?

Hi there.
I own a late 2012 13inch non-retina MBP i5 2.5GHz(upgraded to 8 GB of memory at later time myself). Among other things using it for engineering simulations running on Matlab, a multiplatform math and simulation tool. Some of these simulations can get quite lengthy, and I noticed that my mac was running slow compared to the somewhat comparable computers of my classmates.
After installing intel power gadget (http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-power-gadget-20) to display the power drawn by the CPU and the clock speed of the CPU, I noticed that even under the heaviest simulations (the ones lasting up to 15 min) the turbo never goes beyond 2.9 GHz. (highest recorded value 2.91GHz). Only the intel power gadget and Matlab were opened apps at this time. As this computer was sold under the advertising of 3.1GHz of turboboost, and this amounts to nearly a 10% speed increase compared to my actual results, I was wondering what could explain this discrepancy.
Thanks in advance for your time!
Cheers,

Any possiblity for dust inside your mac? Most of overheating problems cause by dust that blocked the fan. Or the best way I would suggest is go to local apple and ask them to see if can do anything about it.
Btw, that temp you said is way not normal, actually the normal temp for doing email and Excel is about 45 c - 50 c(normal load)... Just saying
