I've just checked out smoltPrint, which claims
We would send the following information to the Fedora Smolt server:
One very noticable problem in the information it reports is that it
reports the current CPU speed, not the maximum. It calls my system a
1 GHz system (which it is, when it's not loaded, due to Cool'n'Quiet and
cpuspeed), not a 2 GHz system.
Would it not make more sense to query
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq , if it exists?
Would you like me to Bugzilla this, or use
https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/smolt/newticket?
James.
