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

[mc_i2020]

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.

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

[mc_i2020]

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

[graudeejs]

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.
