Even though i have a turbo boost capable cpu, i7 8th gen 8550U turbo boost up to 4.0 GHz.
I get this when I ran:
cpuid -1l6 | grep -i turbo
Intel Turbo Boost Technology = false Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 = false
When I ran cpupower on terminal:
cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0: driver: intel_pstate CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported. hardware limits: 400 MHz - 1.80 GHz available cpufreq governors: performance powersave current policy: frequency should be within 400 MHz and 1.10 GHz. The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use within this range. current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware current CPU frequency: 800 MHz (asserted by call to kernel) boost state support: Supported: no Active: no
After running
turbostat
I got:turbostat version 19.08.31 - Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> CPUID(0): GenuineIntel 0x16 CPUID levels; 0x80000008 xlevels; family:model:stepping 0x6:8e:a (6:142:10) CPUID(1): SSE3 MONITOR - EIST TM2 TSC MSR ACPI-TM HT TM CPUID(6): APERF, No-TURBO, DTS, PTM, HWP, HWPnotify, HWPwindow, HWPepp, No-HWPpkg, EPB cpu6: MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE: 0x4000850089 (TCC EIST MWAIT PREFETCH No-TURBO) CPUID(7): SGX cpu6: MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL: 0x00000005 (Locked ) CPUID(0x15): eax_crystal: 2 ebx_tsc: 166 ecx_crystal_hz: 0 TSC: 1992 MHz (24000000 Hz * 166 / 2 / 1000000) ** CPUID(0x16): base_mhz: 2000 max_mhz: 4000 bus_mhz: 100 ** cpu6: MSR_MISC_PWR_MGMT: 0x00401cc0 (ENable-EIST_Coordination DISable-EPB DISable-OOB) RAPL: 17476 sec.

I have tried:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo
1
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo
0
tee: /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo: Operation not permitted
sudo echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo
0

Any help would be massively appreciated. :)
