Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in thermald package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in thermald package in Arch Linux:
New
Bug description:
On Linux OS the CPU package power limit (PL1/2) is set wrong reducing
drastically CPU performance under load.
Apparently many Lenovo laptops (certified for Ubuntu) are affected.
The problem is described in details here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/870u0a/t480s_linux_throttling_bug/
There is "hacky" workaround (not compatible with SecureBoot, a Python
script writing MSR registers periodically) :
