One example is the use of activity monitors for frequency invariance which uses the rate of the arch timer as the known rate of the constant cycle counter in computing its ratio compared to the maximum frequency of a CPU. For arch timer frequencies less than 1MHz this ratio could end up being 0 which is an invalid value for its use. Therefore, warn if the arch timer rate is below 1MHz which contravenes the recommended architecture interval of 1 to 50MHz.
