The latter seems way off base.
Prod me for more info.
I see this occasionally on a dual, speedstep (or similar) finds a way to
throttle down the cores under light load. I suspect that if you load the
system:
for n in 1 2 3 4; do
nice -19 bash -c 'while true; do a=$RANDOM; done' &
done
Then you should see your bogomips rise on all cores.
Sorry for now getting back on this sooner. Other matters forced it to
the backburner.
I don't have Speedstep enabled on this machine's kernel (as a matter
of fact, the entire cpufreq Kconfig subtree is unchecked). Needless to
say running your bash script doesn't change the values in any way.
I'd say the 4800-something bogomips value is the correct one (for a
2.4GHz CPU -- at least that's what I recall on single-CPU machines,
mostly bogomips being approx. twice the rated CPU speed), and the
10000-something is the one off base.
Btw., the 10000 can be something like 12000-odd after a machine reboot,
and readout on a different CPU. The rest are all ca. 4810. Odd indeed.
