indicator-cpufreq displays 3.1ghz mode and 3.3ghz turbo mode.
my cpu is the intel extreme edition 4940mx.
it is 3.1ghz normally.
it can turbo to 3.8, 3.9 and 4.0.
the info page from cpuworld is here:

i7z shows about 3.3ghz on all cpus and up to 3.75 ghz under a heavy load like running handbrake.
that is very close. 3.8ghz on all 4 cores under a heavy load is correct.
however, cannot achieve 3.75ghz without the heavy load.
i have intel pstate disabled on my kernel command line.
i modified my /etc/init.d/ondemand script to set scaling_max_freq as the current freq on boot.
