cpupower: Print CPU 4's frequency from the hardware, in a human-readable format.

cpupower

$ sudo cpupower --cpu ${4} frequency-info --hwfreq --human

try on your machine

This command is using the "cpupower" command with superuser privileges (sudo) to obtain frequency information for a specific CPU core.

Here, "cpupower" is a utility in Linux that allows you to control and monitor CPU power-related settings. The "--cpu ${4}" option is specifying the CPU core for which frequency information is needed, where ${4} refers to the fourth command-line argument passed to the script or command. For example, if the fourth argument is "2", it will display frequency information for CPU core 2.

The "frequency-info" subcommand provides details about CPU frequency. The "--hwfreq" option includes hardware-provided frequency information (if available), and the "--human" option formats the output in a more readable and user-friendly way, making it easier for humans to understand the frequency data.
