If you're interested in a X CPU frequency and CPU utilization
monitor (no bloat), comparable to xload and xmbmon, try this:

http://www.secnetix.de/olli/FreeBSD/ports/xcpufreq.tgz

Example:

xcpufreq -geometry 189x164+151+826 -cpuscalecolor grey -freqscalecolor grey -scales 6 -update 1 -jumpscroll 1 &




You could also examine how the kernel generates its CPU
identification message found on top of dmesg output:

/usr/src/sys/i386/i386/identcpu.c

Start looking from line 630.
