This is the worst possible way to measure CPU frequency. Just use turbostat.

what about nmon? (press 'M' to see the frequencies)

for stress testing and monitoring you could try https://github.com/amanusk/s-tui

Cool suggestions, thanks for sharing!

Two reasons why Turbostat is my weapon of choice here. It's part of the kernel tools package which might be important if you don't have access to outside repos (think CoLo sites, etc).

The other reason is acces to tsc frequency which is pretty important in my line of work.

I'll definitely give s-tui a try. Looks really nice.
