[BlueOnyx:04544] Re: What kernel should I be running?

[Ole-Bjorn Olsen]

Hi!

 

I would guess that this is the work of your processor.

It says that it has 8 processors, but I believe it originally has 4 cors?

So my guess is that your processor has the functionality to split itself if
it feels the need for it.

 

Only a guess though.

Emne: [BlueOnyx:04543] What kernel should I be running?

 

Some hardware info:


Processors

8


Model

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5520 @ 2.27GHz


CPU Speed

1.6 GHz


Cache Size

8.00 MB

8 GB Memory

 

Why is each core showing just 1,6 GHz?

I compared it to same processor on Aventurine and there every core is
running at 2,27 Ghz.

 

This is the kernel I installed (to support my 8GB memory):


Kernel Version

2.6.18-164.11.1.el5PAE (SMP)

 

 

Aventurine is running .ent kernel. Should I install another kernel to get
full CPU speed?

 

 

Thanks,

Tjerk
