I swapped the drives - the problem stays with the i5-7500t leap or tumbleweed. What code has the i5-7500 table in it. It is wrong in both versions.

Tumbleweed

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: 10.0 us
hardware limits: 800 MHz - 800 MHz
available frequency steps: 800 MHz, 792 MHz
available cpufreq governors: performance powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 800 MHz.
                  The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
current CPU frequency: 800 MHz (asserted by call to hardware)
boost state support:
    Supported: no
    Active: no

=================================================

I can swap the drives and see - I have 2 machine out for delivery today - I was going to wait for them to arrive and do fresh tumbleweed on i5-7500t box.

I'll keep everyone updated after I do that later today - I estimate 10 hours from now.

Both i5-7500t have the exact same issue. Both are Leap 15.4

So just a case of old kernel? (If you put Tumbleweed on the 7500T, and
Leap on the 7700T, maybe it's exactly reversed.)
