I have a 2.0 GHz Pentium-M which I believe is 760. I believe it's one IBM has not released information on the EST specs. If I do NOT have cpufreq loaded, I see: dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2000/27000 1750/23625 1600/22600 1400/19775 1333/19666 1166/17207 1066/16733 932/14641 800/13800 700/12075 600/10350 500/8625 400/6900 300/5175 200/3450 100/1725 If I load cpufreq I see: dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 1500/-1 1312/-1 1200/-1 1050/-1 1000/-1 875/-1 800/-1 700/-1 600/-1 525/-1 450/-1 375/-1 300/-1 225/-1 150/-1 75/-1 With cpufreq I report perf0, est0 and p4tcc0 in dmesg. Without loading cpufreq I still see acpi_perf0 and acpi_throttle0. This would lead me to believe that without cpufreq I am only seeing throttling, but I see my clock speed decrease (x86info) which I did not expect to see with pure throttling. Am I better off when on battery to use cpufreq or not? Is there something to tweak to get full 2GHz performance with EST? -- R.
