Just thought should post a screen shot...Never in my life have i seen something oscillate from 803.6 mhz to 2016 mhz.Being a Intel user so long freaks the hell out of me....

actually when theres load the speed increases. in my case too it oscillates between 800Mhz & 1.8Ghz when in idle l or doing light work.

actually this is very good - it reduces power consumption and heat - so nothing to worry about it just harness the benefit out this cool and quiet feature.

yes, i think. it works by detecting the p-state of the processor. & so can be hacked according to user's needs.
