Some details about the state of processor management on SD808/ | LumiaWOA Announcements

Some details about the state of processor management on SD808/MSM8992:

- Processor Management for the A53 cores (first cluster, 4 cores, little cores) is fully functional
- TSENS is fully functional for the first cluster
- SPM calls are working as expected for the first cluster

- Processor Management for the A57 cores (second cluster, 2 cores, big cores, high performance cores) is not functional
- TSENS is fully functional for the second cluster
- SPM calls are not working as expected for the second cluster

What does this means?

- Windows will report the SoC at 1.53Ghz, which is the speed of the A53 cluster, along with A53 cache values
- 1.96Ghz is the speed of the second cluster, which is not functional currently
- The A57 cluster runs without dynamic core variable (frequency) scaling (DCVS ) , which in turn makes it so the two last high performance cores run at 368Mhz all the time

This should explain the awkward issues with both benchmarks and reporting
