After installing Fedora 33 (also tried kubuntu and ubuntu 20.04) on my laptop, I have the problem that after some time, the CPU randomly gets stuck at low frequency (400MHz-800Mhz) and doesn't step up resulting in very slow response times.
cpupower command doesn't change the CPUs speed even it returns status code 0.
I have tried disabling intel_pstate and thermald.
Some system info:
$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 5.10.7-200.fc33.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jan 12 20:20:11 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ cat /etc/*release
Fedora release 33 (Thirty Three)
$ grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10510U CPU @ 1.80GHz
$ grep "cpu MHz" /proc/cpuinfo
cpu MHz : 800.004
cpu MHz : 800.002
cpu MHz : 800.001
cpu MHz : 800.002
cpu MHz : 800.005
cpu MHz : 800.001
cpu MHz : 800.000
cpu MHz : 800.002
$ cpupower frequency-info
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: Cannot determine or is not supported.
hardware limits: 400 MHz - 4.90 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 400 MHz and 4.90 GHz.
The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
current CPU frequency: 500 MHz (asserted by call to kernel)
boost state support:
Supported: yes
Active: yes
