/proc/cpuinfo MHz

Hey
i have a VPS with this kind of /proc/cpuinfo output:
[...] processor : 15 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 26 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5520 @ 2.27GHz stepping : 5 cpu MHz : 250.145
Does that mean i have 16 cores @ 250MHz each or do they have 2.27GHz each?

You have 16 cores @ 250Mhz each. If it's OpenVZ, you'll have to take note of the way it allocates CPU though.
16 cores @ 250 MHz seems pretty uncommon (anyway i'm not happy with my provider either as they want me to upgrade from 3GB RAM@19€ to 4GB RAM@29€ just to enable TUN/TAP for OpenVPN...)
Hmmm. I kind of thought that the numbers in /proc/cpuinfo kind of indicated a max that you could get when the box was in an idle state. Under load you are not going to be able to get what's indicated as the cpu cycles would be going to other users.
Does it vary by the virtualization? OpenVZ vs. Xen vs. KVM?
I thought the mhz was the number before the multiplier. so your multiplier here would be 9 ?
@exussum
I don't think the mhz is referring to the FSB,
Try doing something CPU intensive, maybe that's with power savings on?
LOL, I want a processor with THAT power savings..
Clocked at 250Mhz? That won't happen
Its just strange if you times it by 9 you get a very similar numberto 2.27 ghz ?
No, isn't.
The number is 266, (133x2), so 9x266 = 2.27Ghz = 133x18 and is called multiplier lol
just remind you about overclocking day isn't it?
Let's do this... xD
What's wrong with having 2.7GHZ of proc? Providers usually do not give you all of your share on one core.
