That is because we try to get this from cpufreq and cpufreq has this info in kHz. > Should we do the same for itc MHz to treat both evenly? Not sure about this. I guess we can retain it the way it is as it is something directly coming from hardware. CPU frequency in turn can come cpufreq or acpi tables. ACPI table will reduce this further as it always gives the info in MHz (on processors that has ACPI based P-states support).
