2018-05-08 01:10:40 Glen Ditchfield description I installed the Kubuntu variant of Ubuntu 18.04 on a new HP Spectre 13 laptop. Performance is poor. The CPU (an i7-8550U) is running at 400MHz, and never speeds up, even when running some of the Phoronix Test Suite benchmarks. I can use cpupower to switch to the "performance" cpufreq governor, but cannot change the frequency with either governor. Here is the output of some experiments I ran while Phoronix's c-ray test was running. ______________ gjditchf@copperplate:/var/log$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz cpu MHz : 400.008 cpu MHz : 400.002 cpu MHz : 400.002 cpu MHz : 400.003 cpu MHz : 400.005 cpu MHz : 400.003 cpu MHz : 400.001 cpu MHz : 400.004 gjditchf@copperplate:/var/log$ cpupower frequency-info 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: Cannot determine or is not supported. hardware limits: 400 MHz - 4.00 GHz available cpufreq governors: performance powersave current policy: frequency should be within 400 MHz and 1.60 GHz.
