To enable turbo boost cpupower frequency-set -g ondemand If CPU boost is supported, it’s now time to activate it!! This requires root privilege. If you analyze the results it also says that CPU boost is supported but not active (Active: no). If you run the following command it will give you some information: cpupower frequency-infoįrom what I was seeing, my CPU doesn’t provide any boost states. It should also not be the bios because I was able to max out the machine when it was running Windows. I checked my kernel but it was already at the latest which is 5.17 (March 2022). It seemed impossible to reach any of the boost frequencies advertised by the manufacturer. My CPU frequency was going up a bit but it was maxing out at the base clock. After trying a few different governors: performance, on-demand, and schedutil, I still had no luck.
I decided to switch governor to see if I can utilize my CPU to the fullest and run some benchmarks. I vaguely remember using the power save the configuration, so that was explaining the low frequency but it was never moving up either. My CPU (Ryzen 4700u) comes with a base frequency of 2.0ghz and a max frequency of 4.1 GHz. Was it normal? I did a quick lookup on AMD’s website. At first, I found nothing special, then my eyes were locked on the CPU frequency, indicating 1.4 GHz. It was a normal evening, I remember doing software updates on my laptop and running BTOP for any suspicious software activities. Ubuntu / PopOS / Debian : will be updated soon 😥
NOTE: If you want to investigate on your machine, I recommend adding the following tools. The laptops these days seem to be locked out of their full potential. This article will unlock the full power of your processor.
