Kai-Heng Feng, I also noticed that by default the scaling driver used is acpi-cpufreq and not p-state. I've read that p-state is favorable for kernels >= 4.4. Is this something that is up to the user to decide or should this be considered an incorrect default?

The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use within this range. current CPU frequency is 900 MHz (asserted by call to hardware). cpufreq stats: 2.80 GHz:2.85%, 2.80 GHz:0.00%, 2.70 GHz:0.25%, 2.60 GHz:0.64%, 2.40 GHz:0.65%, 2.30 GHz:1.42%, 2.00 GHz:2.07%, 1.90 GHz:1.27%, 1.80 GHz:1.64%, 1.70 GHz:3.14%, 1.50 GHz:3.57%, 1.40 GHz:5.39%, 1.20 GHz:6.85%, 1.10 GHz:13.39%, 900 MHz:29.31%, 800 MHz:27.53% (2074191) boost state support: Supported: yes Active: yes -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672439 Title: No C-State Deeper than C3 utilized by Kaby Lake 7820HQ in Precision 5520 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1672439/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
