CPUID Reviewers kit for Sandy Bridge

TMonitor has always displayed a load modified multiplier that in many situations does not represent the actual multiplier, especially when the CPU is lightly loaded.

There was a discussion about this on XtremeSystems a while ago with the programmer. Read a few posts and you can decide if T-Monitor can provide you with any useful information.

If you want to know what multiplier each thread of your CPU is using then check out:

ThrottleStop 2.95

It doesn't have a graphical interface like T-Monitor has but it follows the Intel recommended method as outlined in their November 2008 Turbo White Paper on how to report the average multiplier of any Core i CPU. Each thread of each core has two high performance timers that Intel designed specifically for accurate multiplier monitoring purposes.

ThrottleStop supports Sandy Bridge and will show you and be able to log exactly what your CPU is really up to. None of the programs in the first post follow the method recommended by Intel. You will have to ask the programmers of those apps why.
