This seems fairly common on more recent Intel stuff.  On some systems
(without powerd running, since it apparently doesn't do anything
useful in such cases);


dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 3500/-1
dev.cpu.0.freq: 1801
dev.cpu.7.freq_levels: 3500/-1
dev.cpu.7.freq: 799

Xeon E3 v5 (Skylake)


dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 3500/-1
dev.cpu.0.freq: 900
dev.cpu.1.freq_levels: 3500/-1
dev.cpu.1.freq: 799

Xeon E-21xx (Coffee Lake)


Seems to just all be done by the hardware.

           On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
