I see this on 500 MHz Fire V100.

Older machines like Ultra 1, Ultra 5/10 show double the CPU clock speed as bogomips. Is it normal or is something clock-related broken? cpu : TI UltraSparc IIe (Hummingbird) fpu : UltraSparc IIe integrated FPU pmu : ultra12 prom : OBP 4.0.18 2002/05/23 18:22 type : sun4u ncpus probed : 1 ncpus active : 1 D$ parity tl1 : 0 I$ parity tl1 : 0 Cpu0ClkTck : 000000001dcd6500 MMU Type : Spitfire Netra X1 has it also similarly. My dmesg logs go back to August 2008 and it has been the same always (at least at about 2.6.25), so it's not anything recent. -- Meelis Roos (mroos@xxxxxxxx) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
