We've observed this on certain other pieces of modern Intel hardware -
the best hypothesis we've been able to come up with is that if the msr
read is the first instruction run on the core when it's previously been
in a deep C state, the low-clock speed is reported. However, some
Thinkpads will also automatically limit their speed for thermal reasons.
