How to view real-time CPU frequency inside guest OS?

Hello,

How to view real-time CPU frequency inside guest OS?

I tried to look in Task Manager and CPU-Z, but always see 2.2 GHz

host: ESXi 6.7

CPU: Xeon Silver 4114 (base 2.2/ turbo 3.0 GHz)

guest: Windows Server 2016

Are you asking to see whether the core has used Turbo boost?

Hi,

Essentially yes. Ideally we'd be able to identify if the feature is active in some way - I guess that doesn't matter if that's via the guest or via the hypervisor and then if it's in use (or has been used) would be very nice, if it does work.

Cheers,

Steve

You VM will always see the core clock speed because thats ultimately all you have assigned to that VM. As this is a virtual environment you can think of resources as pools, so it doesnt really matter what the underlying hardware is dong and it will speed up the VM where the hardware allows
