Ok, so results still inconclusive I'm afraid...

The Ubuntu machines we're looking at (Dell R740s and C6420s running with
Performance BIOS power profile, which amongst other things disables cstates
and enables turbo) are currently running either a 4.13 or a 4.15 HWE kernel
- we needed 4.13 to support PERC10 and even get them booting from local
storage, then 4.15 to get around a prlimit bug that was breaking Nova
snapshots, so here we are. Where are you getting 4.16,
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.16/ ?

So interestingly in our case we seem to have no cpufreq driver loaded.
After installing linux-generic-tools (cause cpupower is supposed to
supersede cpufrequtils I think?):

On a similar node with the 4.13 kernel we get similar reports from
cpupower-monitor, but oddly on 4.13 /proc/cpuinfo shows all cores at base
2700.000 (on 4.15 it updates).

We can try 4.16 tomorrow. But I wonder why we are already seeing turbo even
at idle and you aren't... only thing I can think of is that it must be
because our cstates are disabled in BIOS, indeed when looking in dmesg I
see:

[    1.274325] intel_idle: disabled

So it stands to reason that intel_idle.max_cstate=0 is doing nothing for
either of us. What do you see from intel_idle on 4.16?
