Hello,
we are migrating from SOM module VF50 to i.MX6ULL and I’ve noticed that cat /proc/cpuinfo reports significantly worse BogoMIPS for module i.MX6ULL ( even driven at higher freq. ) than for VF50.
Our image is based on tdx-reference-minimal-image with some changes due to custom carrier board.
So I want to ask if performance of iMX6ULL is correct (i.e. it is really lower than on VF50 module), or shall we look for an issue with build kernel?
Values reported for VF50:

analyzing CPU 0:
driver: imx6q-cpufreq
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: 86.0 us.
hardware limits: 198 MHz - 528 MHz
available frequency steps: 198 MHz, 396 MHz, 528 MHz
available cpufreq governors: conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 198 MHz and 528 MHz.
The governor “performance” may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 528 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).
cpufreq stats: 198 MHz:0.57%, 396 MHz:1.14%, 528 MHz:98.29% (458)
Thank you.
