| |
I have a P133. When I first started, the /proc/cpuinfo said that I had a 133MHz processor. About an hour later, I look at /proc/cpuinfo from my user account, and get this:
processor : 0 cpu : 586 model : Pentium 75+ clock_speed : 132 MHz vendor_id : GenuineIntel stepping : 12 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid : yes wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 bogomips : 52.84
That happened several times. Then it reverted back to:
processor : 0 cpu : 586 model : Pentium 75+ clock_speed : 133 MHz vendor_id : GenuineIntel stepping : 12 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid : yes wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 bogomips : 52.84
It's continued to swing back and forth between 133 and 132 MHz as I write this.
Is this a bug or some odd hardware quirk?
