Default How to detect the frequency of individual cores in a dual core processor?

Hi,
I want to be able to check the individual frequency of the two cores in my processor(Intel Core2duo T9300). I tried the sysctl dev.cpu variables, but it only shows one frequency.

Death-Star awaits your command>sysctl dev.cpu
dev.cpu.0.%desc: ACPI CPU
dev.cpu.0.%driver: cpu
dev.cpu.0.%location: handle=\_PR_.CPU0
dev.cpu.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0
dev.cpu.0.%parent: acpi0
dev.cpu.0.freq: 2501<----------This seems to be the frequency of one of my cores.
dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2501/32000 2187/27125 2000/24000 1750/21000 1600/18000 1400/15750 1200/13000 1050/11375 900/9750 800/10000 700/8750 600/7500 500/6250 400/5000 300/3750 200/2500 100/1250
dev.cpu.0.temperature: 55
dev.cpu.0.cx_supported: C1/1 C2/1 C3/57
dev.cpu.0.cx_lowest: C1
dev.cpu.0.cx_usage: 100.00% 0.00% 0.00%
dev.cpu.1.%desc: ACPI CPU
dev.cpu.1.%driver: cpu
dev.cpu.1.%location: handle=\_PR_.CPU1
dev.cpu.1.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0
dev.cpu.1.%parent: acpi0
dev.cpu.1.temperature: 52
dev.cpu.1.cx_supported: C1/1 C2/1 C3/57
dev.cpu.1.cx_lowest: C1
dev.cpu.1.cx_usage: 100.00% 0.00% 0.00%

As you can see there is no dev.cpu.1.freq. So how do I check the frequency of the other core?

I think all procs/cores must run on the same frequency then.

Code:
dev.cpu.0.%desc: ACPI CPU
dev.cpu.0.%driver: cpu
dev.cpu.0.%location: handle=\_PR_.CPU1
dev.cpu.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0
dev.cpu.0.%parent: acpi0
dev.cpu.0.freq: 1041
dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2777/-1 2429/-1 2082/-1 1735/-1 1388/-1 1041/-1
dev.cpu.0.cx_supported: C1/0
dev.cpu.0.cx_lowest: C1
dev.cpu.0.cx_usage: 100.00%
dev.cpu.1.%desc: ACPI CPU
dev.cpu.1.%driver: cpu
dev.cpu.1.%location: handle=\_PR_.CPU2
dev.cpu.1.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0
dev.cpu.1.%parent: acpi0
dev.cpu.1.cx_supported: C1/0
dev.cpu.1.cx_lowest: C1
dev.cpu.1.cx_usage: 100.00%
dev.cpu.2.%desc: ACPI CPU
dev.cpu.2.%driver: cpu
dev.cpu.2.%location: handle=\_PR_.CPU3
dev.cpu.2.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0
dev.cpu.2.%parent: acpi0
dev.cpu.2.cx_supported: C1/0
dev.cpu.2.cx_lowest: C1
dev.cpu.2.cx_usage: 100.00%
dev.cpu.3.%desc: ACPI CPU
dev.cpu.3.%driver: cpu
dev.cpu.3.%location: handle=\_PR_.CPU4
dev.cpu.3.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0
dev.cpu.3.%parent: acpi0
dev.cpu.3.cx_supported: C1/0
dev.cpu.3.cx_lowest: C1
dev.cpu.3.cx_usage: 100.00%

They probably are, perhaps you wish to know load of each core?

But in linux, htop or any other utility will show seperate statistics for every core, including core frequency

Why do you need it anyway, isn;t load enough?
If it is use chonky or kgrellm (or something like that, can't remember exact name)

I believe it's only the AMD 4-core CPUs that support multiple power planes (different voltages/frequencies per core).

AFAIK, there are no dual-core CPUs that support multile power planes.
