Estou executando o Ubuntu 10.10 64bit em um sistema com um processador AMD Phenom II X2 550 com overclock para 3.5ghz (a partir dos 3.1ghz padrão).
Quando executo uma codificação Xvid usando k9copy / mencoder e verifico a velocidade da CPU usando cat /proc/cpuinfo
, nenhum dos núcleos parece estar acima de 2400mhz (às vezes menos devido ao AMD Cool'n'Quiet).
Supondo que essa seja a velocidade real, como garantir que o processador funcione a toda velocidade ao executar uma tarefa intensiva da CPU, como a codificação de vídeo?
