Hi all.

I got my self the Z4 tablet last week and I am noticing some slow downs with it and when taking a look at CPU-Z its showing some strangeness.

When I first turn on the tablet CPUZ shows the A53 Cores with a max speed of 1.96Ghz and 1.56Ghz on the A57. Witch is fine. but then if I go an open an app, say Chrome or play a game etc CPUZ shows both A53 and A57 a max speed of 1.56Ghz and cores 4,5,6 and 7 as sleeping no mater what I am doing. Even If I stress the CPU.

So whats going on there?

I do notice that when it shows 4 cores running the tablet get quite hot vs when it shows all 8 going its not so hot at all.

I have tried a reset. Its running 32.3.A.0.376. This could just be CPUZ giving incorrect info but I don't think so

Cheers

Hi,
Normally max speed A53 is at 2.05Ghz and A57 is at 1.71Ghz (reported by CPUZ and kernel aduitor on MM 6.01 rooted)
