Public bug reported: I am seeing a throttling difference about 4.13.13 kernel:
- the Artful kernel 4.13.0-18-generic, based on 4.13.13, does not manage the cpu frequency (neither all the previous ubuntu kernels) oem@zz64:~$ acpitool -c CPU type : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz Min/Max frequency : 800/3200 MHz Current frequency : 900 MHz Frequency governor : powersave Freq. scaling driver : intel_pstate Cache size : 3200.000 KB Bogomips : 6384.00 Bogomips : 6384.00 Bogomips : 6384.00 Bogomips : 6384.00 Function Show_CPU_Info : could not read directory /proc/acpi/processor/ Make sure your kernel has ACPI processor support enabled. This seems to be due to the missing /processor/ subdir: oem@zz64:~$ ls /proc/acpi/ wakeup - The same pc also have a bionic partition, where the 4.13.13 vanilla kernel perfectly manage the cpu dynamic frequency, so it is not related to the uefi settings in that case.
