Survey: provide your available CPU governors

I would like you guys to run the command below and tell which CPU you have:
Code: Select all
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
This is part of a research I'm conducting to better understand the differences between kernel CPU governors and alternative solutions like power-profiles-daemon and TLP.
Thanks in advance!

It is a 4 Core CPU and each core is able to run 2 tasks simultaneously, therefore the max CPU% would be 800%, but when asking for the Core's temperature only 4 are listed via
sensors|grep Core :
Code: Select all
guest@rava:~$ sensors|grep Core
Core 0: +69.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1: +69.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 2: +70.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 3: +74.0°C (high = +84.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
guest@rava:~$
The "high = +84.0°C" is always the same, that temperature is happening at initial bootup; after that temperature got reached the system starts the fan.

Cool - I like LXDE and add the native cpu and governor app "cpufreq frontend" in the taskbar, where I can hover with the mouse. (Add-Remove Panel Items > ADD > CPUfreq Frontend) But here we go for this machine. I'll add other machines later..
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ uname -mpi

With the lxde panel app, I can hover and see the cpu frequency changing in real-time at idle or under a workload easily...

Just an update - I found this handy cli one-liner to watch the cpu speeds. Yeah, Htop has that option etc, but this is always available:
Code: Select all
watch -n1 "grep \"^[c]pu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo
There is a space between the p of grep and the backslash. And a space before /proc. Formatting sometimes makes that hard to see. Ctrl-c to quit obviously.
Interesting to see how you are doing at idle and under load with the various freq governers etc. -n1 is one-second. You can make it smaller, but then the command itself starts to make it a load!
I mostly use it to see if my cpu's actually settle down at idle, rather than staying hammered at full-speed.
