Improve get_freq() #20

Closed npyl closed 6 years ago

npyl commented 6 years ago

Find a way to actually calculate each core's frequency. Currently get_freq() gets the factory frequency using sysctl.

Probably this will require creating a kernel extension for conky.

Intel's Power Gadget can read the CPU frequency (so we can read it, too!). It is also available through Homebrew.

Can be installed using brew cask install intel-power-gadget.

The cask installs the PowerGadget.app, the Framework and the Driver.

Right now this API seems to only work for CORE0

This is probably as far as it can go for now; thus close issue.
