Обнаружилось после установки ubuntu 20.04 или 24.04, что частота cpu пробивает дно.
Простенький сервер с двумя процессорами intel xeon silver 4210 2.2GHz(10 ядер 20 потоков) который после загрузки оказывается диким тормозом.
turbostate показывает Bzy_MHz 700МГц !
Для всех ядер настройки одинаковые.

Поднять частоту можно двумя способами:
1) Загузить половину потоков (stress-ng --cpu 20)
2) выполнить cpupower idle-set -d 1 (запрет P-State С1)
В обоих случаях частота изменяется очень медленно в обе стороны.
от 700MHz до 2700MHz примерно 25-30 секунд и 40-60 секунд назад.
Гугление показало, что я не один такой и проблема именно в настройках убунты.
Почти все треды заканчиваются советом «intel_pstate=disable»
Применение её приводит к использованию acpi-cpufreq, где все работает адекватно: 1 ядро можно раскрутить до 3.19ГГц, а дальше максимальная частота падает.

available cpufreq governors: conservative ondemand userspace powersave performance schedutil
current policy: frequency should be within 1000 MHz and 2.20 GHz.
The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
within this range.

analyzing CPU 30:

maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported.

Вопрос: может есть способ настроить адекватно intel_pstate?
Или ну его нафиг, если acpi-cpufreq работает?
