For some SOCs, for some reason (making the CPU have approximate performance),
they use the same frequency but different voltage. In the case where
this speed bin
is not a lot and opp uses the same frequency, too many repeated opp
nodes are a bit
redundant and not intuitive enough.

So, I think it's worth the new method.
