Controlling CPU frequency - no 2GHz?

[MeLikeyTacos]

@poVoq - exactly. 1.42 GHz is small cores frequency.

 Thank you @poVoq and @as400 - I actually had that thought driving home from work today. I appreciate the insight!

@MeLikeyTacos - how do you use cpupower to get that level of detail? I usually just set "governor" and let it ride, having it report that core 0-5 are set. But I haven't played around with it enough to determine how to see each core.

I'm using the "cpupower-gui" app that's available through AUR, it gives a nice interface with sliders for setting frequencies and dropdown boxes for selecting the governor settings.

 Was rooting around looking for how to do this & ran across this article you might like. Apparently the newest version does allow frequency setting at power on or user log on:

Ah, neato. Thanks for the heads-up!
