[Q] Only one core going upto 1.512GHz - TouchPad General

ok i've done everything apart from muffle system logging and max blocker (both fail to install for some reason =S ) , BUT in Govnah the 1st core shows the speed of going upto 1.512GHz, but the 2nd core doesn't go higher than 192MHz...why is that??

It only goes up if it needs it to perform some task. If you're sitting there watching it, it won't go up as it is not needed.
That is a power saving feature of dual cores.

yh but the graph that shows it hasn't gone higher than 192MHz for a while...wheras the 1st core keeps cycling at many different speeds, and i've run everything to get that second core going...but it still won't

What kernel? This has been a known issue with f15. Change the govenor to "ondemand" instead of "ctlondemand". I switched to warthog and dont have the issue anymore.
BTW....not saying its better. Just works for me

using the F4 kernel, both cores will run at the max speed you put, and when it's idling and not doing anything, will run at the lowest speed you put. I totally recmomend it. make sure you leave what ever governer is on the f4 kernel, if you don't, then the second core will stay at the min speed you put, thus not doing much.

go play a 720p YouTube video if fits smooth then everything's fine. I don't get peoples obsession with needing it to go up and down.

f4 is working really nicely over 2 weeks now. 1.8 both cores. set the min the lowest. still all day battery life.

3 words "Lithium ENYO BenchMark"
test and report your 2nd core activity via govnah... (running in background during test)
edit: "Lithium ENYO BenchMark" eh.... its ok at getting a result but not as much as some more mainstream activities and i now question its "bench marking validity". but the 2nd core is obviously active
look closely as the graph moves quicky depending on your settings

i get mixed results but i always see activity from core 2
