After some search, i discovered that the intel_pstate seems to have to be enable running default Ubuntu kernel adding :
/etc/default/grub
Add:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_pstate=enable"
then sudo update-grub
After reboot, i can see the good configuration i was seing it with kernel 3.12:
cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009

analyzing CPU 0:
driver: intel_pstate
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: 0.97 ms.
hardware limits: 800 MHz - 3.10 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance, powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 3.10 GHz. The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use within this range.
current CPU frequency is 2.18 GHz (asserted by call to hardware).

current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 3.10 GHz. The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use within this range.
current CPU frequency is 2.55 GHz (asserted by call to hardware).
What does explain the difference between the 2 situations ?
With kernel 3.12 we don't have to manually enable intel_pstate... not sure most user would think about that to take all the benefit of last computers...
Some update:
