[Q] cpu spy and freqs

[amirage]

Hi all

I have moved rather upgraded to the S6e and boy am I happy..amazing device. I happened to download cpu spy reborn app from play store and the funny thing was the app showed a max freq of 1500 mhz...am I missing something here or is the app not optimised to measure 8 core setups? Anyone else faced this issue?

From my understanding you need a Kernel that will support Overclocking/ Undervolting.

Now the GS6 has 8 cores.

The first 4 are used for low frequencies 0-1.5 GHz.
The last 4 are used for higher frequencies 0-2.1 GHZ.

Hope that helps.

I'm not sure if that's totally correct but from what I've read that seems to be the case.

It's probably not been updated. Usually you take data from cpu0, but in this case cpu0 only accounts for the A53 cores. Any app would need to also read from cpu4 for the other 4 cores. If it doesn't do that, the app can't know that there are more than 4 cores.

Thanks for the replies...I guessed the same too..
