Hi folks,
on my old laptop I've a quadcore 2.5 GHz CPU, but the max freq the governor switches to goes only up to 2.1 GHz (at idle it's 1.4 GHz):
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies 2500000 2100000 1800000 1400000
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq 2100000
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq 2500000
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor ondemand
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver acpi-cpufreq
I stress-tested it with a dummy C-program, but as said it never goes above 2.1 GHz.
Is this a kernel issue, or is it something else? (Btw, I don't use any external program to manage this, so I assume it's managed by the kernel).
I would like keep the "ondemand", but it of course should also use the max_freq when needed.
Kernel: 4.12.0
Thx U.Mutlu
