intel 2310m not running as fast as expected.

I'm running an Intel i3 2310m and I don't think it's going as quickly as it could be.
It got me wondering after the WIE [Windows Index Experence] rated the processor at 4.9 while Googling reported that people were getting 6.4. [running Win7 x64]

Running CPUID gave me this:

The clock speed looks a bit slow to me, it should be 2100MHz I would've thought.
I've updated to the latest chipset drivers 9.2.0.1030 but WIE is still the same.

What could I be missing?

It's WEI. Don't follow it, though. It totally doesn't mean you have a crappier computer by a lower score.

Do you have something like an equivalent to AMD's Cool N Quiet, that speeds up the CPU when in need? I think that is what's happening. Saving battery life.

No, I don't have anything like a power saver. It's on the Balanced power scheme.
It's just weird because others with exactly the same laptop are getting those higher scores. I understand that the scores aren't exactly something to put any faith in but it made me wonder seeing as the core clock is so slow too.

I mean in your BIOS, not in Windows.

What is your laptop model?

It's a Clevo W240HUQ. All the drivers I found are here.

After screwing my system up by installing the wrong chipset update, discovering system restore failed and having to start from scratch. WEI reported what I expected but CPUID was still displaying the same settings. I'm thinking now this is some sort of resource saver. I may be just used to seeing older CPUs showing a constant state of 2400MHz rather than this ones alternating state.

Thanks for your help anyhow.
