passing intel_pstate=disable_hwp on the kernel commandline causes the kernel to scale the Core i5-8250U down to 1.6 GHz in performance mode, but that's still a bit off from the 900 MHz it scales down to in powersave mode.
I believe Windows also does not run the CPUs in performance mode by default on mobile devices (but in balanced or balanced performance), I don't know about stationary ones. Performance governor on laptops should be restricted to gamemode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1885730 Title: Bring back ondemand.service or switch kernel default governor for pstate - pstate now defaults to performance governor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1885730/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
