Because there is low transition latency between P-states, a significant number of transitions per second are possible.

When software samples a CPU once per second or once every 5 seconds, it's not capable of accurately reporting the intermediate multipliers during a SpeedStep transition. That doesn't prove that the intermediate multipliers are not being used.
Here's the latest version of AIDA64 telling me that my T8100 mobile CPU is using a 23 multiplier and is running at 4587.2 MHz.

Very impressive but it's not true. It's not a good idea to believe everything that software tells you. |
In short: SpeedStep in my case is working in many steps but CPU-Z for example is to slow to show them all?
