One time I ran quadrant while OCed to 700 and got a score in the low 400s; well, it turns out it was operating at 224mhz (you can see it in the system directory /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq). When I reran the test, I got a score in the mid 600s and the clock changed to 700mhz. So if you OC, it doesn't mean it's always fast. It's a good thing because the system is trying to save battery for you.

Thanks. I was trying to understand how this works. Looks like my Core i7 in a mini-size. I looked at the code at it did not seem to cover the higher clock rates.
