Performance governor select low cpu frequency on battery












1















When I am on battery the performance governor selects 800Mhz for my system speed even if the CPU is at 100% load. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 on a Lenovo P51.



I want that it increases CPU frequency more aggressively. How can I configure that?



$ cpufreq-info

Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: intel_pstate
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: 4294.55 ms.
hardware limits: 800 MHz - 3.80 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance, powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 3.80 GHz.
The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 800 MHz.
