  • 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
