Acer laptop with AMD Sempron 2800+

[enigma261]

Hello,

I recently bought a Acer 3002 LCi laptop with AMD Sempron 2800+.
This chip is rated at 1.6 Ghz on AMD's website.

But, when I look at the info in "Systems" panel, it says 800 MhZ.
Am I missing something here ?

What is the real clock speed at which my laptop is operating ?

thank you

Look on your computer or at AMD's support site for the Speedstep
Dashboad. It will illustrate the speed in real time. The 800Mhz is
likely the idle speed.

procesor gets lower speed in order to save battery time when it's idle, you
can configure it in control panel - if you want the top performance or the
top power saving option.
