I'm trying to use HWInfo to collect core frequency on an AMD 3800X 8C16T. We're testing an Asus X570 board with the recently released BIOS with core boost improvement update from AMD.
We are setting the sampling frequency to 100 ms (and see it set in the UI) but the log we get shows gaps of 300-400 ms instead of 100 ms. We are running Cinebench workloads for ~185 secs and the gap in the log is consistent throughout.
Is there something I could be doing wrong?
I'll mention I managed to get it down to ~175 ms on one system while trying to troubleshoot whether the 300-400 ms gap was due to using the system EC (I saw a dialog on startup asking about using it and its potential impact on collection). However, I couldn't then switch settings back and get the longer time so I am not sure how I got to 175 ms. However, I am unfamiliar with the app and EC so I may not have using it correctly. I only mention in case it is useful.
