Hi!
I just picked up a Mac Studio. Running GB6 on it, I see the reported ghz varies between GB runs. sometimes it's 3.0 sometimes 3.06.. sometimes it's 3.1.
But I have never seen it reported at the correct 3.2 ghz.
My GB6 results tend to be on the low side as well.
Is it normal to see variation in the reported ghz or is something up with my cpu?

Thanks

Jason

    If the reported frequency is low and your benchmark scores are low there could be an issue with your Mac Studio. It could be a hardware issue or a software issue (e.g., an application running in the background).

    I'd recommend getting in touch with Apple (assuming your Mac Studio is still under warranty) and asking what troubleshooting steps they recommend.
