[REQUEST] Report CPU frequency per core

Open frainz-de opened this issue 4 years ago • 10 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I was worried why my processor was at a low clock speed even though a process was using an entire core. Using grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo I noticed that the core in use was indeed at a much higher speed. It would be good to show this in btop.

Describe the solution you'd like Instead of on top, the clock frequency is displayed next to the usage of each core.

Describe alternatives you've considered Instead, we could write "avg" or something before the clock speed to make it more obvious that it is an average

This is very much needed. Per core usage percentages are not same as per core frequency. This is needed to check whether frequencies are well within the range of idle frequency.

I'd really need it too.

This would be incredibly helpful!

This is very useful in heterogeneous systems, especially on ARM platforms. Is there any plan for it?

I agree, this feature would be greatly appreciated. I came to the issues specifically to request this.

I'd really like to see this as well! Would be useful for MacOS.

+1 for this feature. Would be usefule especially with the heterogeneous cores.

Same here... Per-core clock info is way more useful than per-core temps to me. Package temps have always been good enough. For now I just have to use htop for per-core clock speeds.

Necessary and useful feature
