What tool (if any) can you use to see how fast your processor is running in windows under bootcamp?

If you right click on my computer and then click properties - it should show it on that first tab.

it says 2 cores. i think it runs at full speed when it needs to, and doesn't when it doesn't need to

Q: CPU-Z reports my CPU speed below its stock frequency.
A: This is the effect of C1E (Enhanced Halt State) and/or EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology). Load your system and you will see the frequency increase to its nominal value.
