      I have a cpu that can turbo boost but I wanted to see if there was a way to view the current cpu clock speed?

      Kinda like the task manager in windows where you see current clocks but on pfsense. Is it a special command/package i need?

          [2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT][root@xtm800.stevew.lan]/root: sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq
          dev.cpu.0.freq: 3201
          

          Note that is indicating 3.2GHz with Turbo. The extra 1 shows turbo is enabled.

          The dashboard will also show it at anything less than maximum speed:

              Also you must enable powerd in Sys > Adv > Misc to see variable clock speed.
