You mean the hardware around the TI chip... they didn't design the TI chip, they just implemented it.


So this is where I'll probably show you my limitation in knowledge and where I am making some vast assumptions but:

If I am not on charge then doing a "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MIPS" repeatedly, shows the CPU scaling constantly between 250/125 and 600/700/800/900 depending on the kernal image used.

Whilst on charge the value stays locked at 600/700/800/900 depending on the kernal image used.

My assumptions then are that the BogoMIPS are a roughly direct representation of MHz and that what this value represents is in fact the current state of the proc.

Please correct me where I am wrong.
