Hello everybody,
I just did a fresh install of Leap 15.2 on my notebook with an AMD A10-9600P (Excavator, Bristol Ridge). While the system works, it is sluggish under load and I notice, that the CPU does not change its core-frequencies.
When running watch -n1 "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "^[c]pu MHz"" I always get cpu MHz : 798.283 cpu MHz : 798.485 cpu MHz : 798.307 cpu MHz : 798.423
KsysGuard (the KDE advanced system monitor) reports exactly the same. The chip theoretically boosts up to 2.4 Ghz and did so under Leap 15.1 and other previous releases.
How can I get my CPU to boost again?
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thank you! Simon

how about: ---------------
sudo cpupower frequency-info analyzing CPU 0: driver: acpi-cpufreq .....
which cpupower /usr/bin/cpupower
rpm -qf /usr/bin/cpupower cpupower-5.5-lp152.4.1.x86_64
I only have a much older cpu/apu from amd around, but that tool tells about boost states and all kind of core states and frequencies
Linux linux 5.3.18-lp152.19-default #1 SMP Tue Jun 9 20:59:24 UTC 2020 (960cb00) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Thank you for your quick reply.
I did some testing on my machine. The problem somehow resolved after I first put it to stand-by (closing the lid). After the wake-up the CPU frequencies were back to normal.
The CPU also behaves normally after a cold boot.
Weird, but hopefully the problem is now solved.
