    Re: how to check cpu clock speed in linux

    Which speed do you really want to know? There is a difference between clock speed and CPU speed. The CPU speed is the one which is shown as 2.4 Ghz or 2.66 Ghz. The clock speed is the inner speed unit of the cpu which is responsible for synchronization of all parts of the computer. The CPU Speed is the combination of clock with another unit know as multiplier. clock speed is say 300mhz and the CPU speed is shown as 3.0 Ghz then the multiplier would be 10 [300mhz * 10 = 3.0ghz]
