I'm not sure if the app just doesnt know how to read the cpu speed on the streak 7 but I installed CPU gauge on my streak 7 (with DJ Steves perf mods) and it's only showing my cpu speed as 598Mhz.. Is this right or is the app just reading it wrong since it's a T2? something doesnt seem right.. either the app is wrong or this baby is severely underclocked

What it is reading from, is probably /proc/cpuinfo

In that file, the BogoMIPS = 598

BogoMIPS is a kind of way of measuring CPU speed, but it is very different from what we normally understand as how fast it is.

So the best way to measure, is to assign some task (which utilize CPU intensively) and record to time. Do several times and get average messure.

Current market place there is no (to my best knowledge) apps that can correctly measure this Tegra 2 Dual Core yet.

Please let me know if anyone here found one that ACTUALLY measures correctly.

Many claims so, but what they are doing is just cat /proc/cpuinfo, which is incorrect/inaccurate.

Cheers,
