The same is true on my system:
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU W3680 @ 3.33GHz (4250.09-MHz K8-class CPU)
dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 3334/143000 3333/130000 3200/117000 3067/105000
2933/94000 2800/85000 2667/76000 2533/68000 2400/61000 2267/54000
2133/48000 2000/43000 1867/39000 1733/35000 1600/32000
I've clocked this cpu at various speeds between 4.25 - 5.0 ghz over the
years (faster when it was younger, more conservative now that it's
old). The value in parens (4250.09) changes accordingly, but the
values in the sysctl never do. I'm sure this is running at the
overclocked speed (various benchmark values change as they should when
changing the OC values in the bios).
