Does anyone know of a menubar app or somethign that will report current cpu speed. Just want to know when my i5 is using it or not.
 
Not to my knowledge...there is one supplied by Intel for Windows, but nothing for mac.
 
In windows anyway, the turbo boost during a hanbrake encode lasts for seconds only. It sometimes even reads lower than the normal operating speed of the i7, which I thought was weird given that its at 100% utilization, and under the thermal spec.
