Hi there,

The J1900 CPU:
<http://ark.intel.com/products/78867/Intel-Celeron-Processor-J1900-2M-Cache-up-to-2_42-GHz>

is supposed to run at 1.33, 1.99 and 2.42 GHz for idle, normal, and boost.

Instead we have:

~$ uname -a
Linux itxmini 3.16.2a #14 SMP Sun Sep 14 11:06:35 EST 2014 x86_64 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU  J1900  @ 1.99GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Where do I go (which file/s) to fix this?
