Try changing to the powersave governor. If something else set another pstate request and the intel_pstate driver doesn't know about it, then with the performance governor it might never send a new pstate request.

All of this is very similar to a few months ago, on askubuntu and the path of investigation is the same.

To check all operating parameters I do not mean to use cpufreq-info. I mean do:

grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/*

and

grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/*

For posting herein, and as a long as you have checked that the repeated information is the same, the second one can be shortened to (choose whatever CPU you want):

grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/cpufreq/*
