Glenn's tests are interesting.  His never seems to cool much and does not

known for cool operation.  Appears Linux does not have a cpu cool cycle in
kernel.

Don't have access to my AMD desktop machines ATM, but the AMD laptop runs at 1600Mhz when needed, and drops to 800Mhz when the load allows:

# dmesg | grep k8
powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor 2650e processors (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
powernow-k8:    0 : fid 0x8 (1600 MHz), vid 0x16
powernow-k8:    1 : fid 0x0 (800 MHz), vid 0x16
