You might be able to force the higher speed by using the
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ interface.
The following gives a list of the available governor modes:
Code:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
Typically one of these is "performance"; this can be set by:
Code:
sudo echo performance >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
And you can then examine
scaling_cur_freq.
Another possible cause of throttling is overheating, for example when a fan has failed.
