Intel Turbo Boost

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble getting my LattePenda Alpha Intel Core m3-7Y30 CPU to reach its Turbo Boost speed of 2.6 GHz; it's stuck at 1.6 GHz under load. Below are the steps I've tried without success:

BIOS: Confirmed Turbo Boost is enabled.

Thermal Management: Checked cooling system and monitored temps with lm-sensors.

Power Settings: Set Ubuntu to high-performance mode and adjusted CPU governor to 'performance' via cpufrequtils.

AC Power: Ensured the laptop is plugged in.

Load Testing: Applied high load with stress and monitored with i7z.

Despite these efforts, the CPU won't exceed 1.6 GHz. Temperatures are normal, so it doesn’t appear to be thermal throttling.

Any ideas on what could be restricting my CPU speed or additional troubleshooting steps?

Thanks for any insights!
