I’d like to point out sudo is needed for Ian’s answer above:
sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
However you can get the same results without sudo using:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
My favourite is to use Conky where you can paint your own picture:
This sits on the right of my built-in display all the time. The relevant code for the CPU section is:
${color2}${voffset 5}Intel® i-7 3630QM 3.4 GHz: ${color1}@ ${color green}${freq} MHz
${color}${goto 13}CPU 1 ${goto 81}${color green}${cpu cpu1}% ${goto 131}${color3}${cpubar cpu1 18}
${color}${goto 13}CPU 2 ${goto 81}${color green}${cpu cpu2}% ${goto 131}${color3}${cpubar cpu2 18}
${color}${goto 13}CPU 3 ${goto 81}${color green}${cpu cpu3}% ${goto 131}${color3}${cpubar cpu3 18}
