check for the right governor (ondemand) you shouldn't care. in some cases though you must set yourself. this could be kernel or systemd related - this changed recently to newer version together with udev. I had a case that cpu was always at max freq - I had to edit the cpufreq in cat /etc/default/cpufrequtils GOVERNOR="ondemand" MAX_SPEED="3.6GHz" MIN_SPEED="1.4GHz" hope it helps
