- How to run CPU with maximum speed with turbo power
# cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: pcc-cpufreq
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
hardware limits: 1.20 GHz - 2.60 GHz <<<<---------[ Less than Maximum CPU speed ]
available cpufreq governors: conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 1.20 GHz and 2.60 GHz.
The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 2.50 GHz (asserted by call to hardware).
boost state support:
Supported: yes
Active: yes
3100 MHz max turbo 4 active cores
3200 MHz max turbo 3 active cores
3300 MHz max turbo 2 active cores
3400 MHz max turbo 1 active cores
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
- HP ProLiant Gen8 system
