why does clocked speed show up on arm64 but not on amd64?

Hi,

WHy does the clocked speed *not* show up on intel hardware in sysctl
dev.cpu ? It shows up in arm64 (ARM Cortex-A72)

intel:

% dmesg | grep 42
FreeBSD clang version 12.0.1 (git@github.com:llvm/llvm-project.git
llvmorg-12.0.1-0-gfed41342a82f)
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz (4251.32-MHz K8-class CPU)
                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^
shows in dmesg as above, but not in the dev.cpu sysctl

% sysctl dev.cpu.0 | less

But on the raspberry pi 4, the overclock shows in the sysctl *only*

% sysctl dev.cpu.0
dev.cpu.0.temperature: 49.1C
dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2100/-1 600/-1
dev.cpu.0.freq: 2100
dev.cpu.0.%parent: cpulist0
dev.cpu.0.%pnpinfo: name=cpu@0 compat=arm,cortex-a72
dev.cpu.0.%location: 
dev.cpu.0.%driver: cpu
dev.cpu.0.%desc: Open Firmware CPU

why the difference? The only place I'm expecting the overclock to not be
present would be on the rpi4, in its dmesg because u-boot hands off to
the OS, and maybe the cpu speed is missed in the handover.

However, I *am* able to see it here, on intel:

hw.clockrate: 4251
machdep.tsc_freq: 4251320612

but i'm puzzled why on intel it's not in dev.cpu.0.freq

The rpi4 doesn't have these two oids

thanks,
