It's so it's not running at full speed wasting power for no reason and creating unnecessary heat.

Thanks man

Its normal. It does that to reduce power consumption and to reduce heat output

[AlwaysFSX]

Thanks man

You can also tune it yourself if you like if your under W7

 

Using POWER settings in Control Panel, then click High Performance, and then change plan settings>advanced settings.

Find Your Processor Power Management

Minimum Processor State is a Percentage (Higher you go, the higher your IDLE clocks will be)

So if you don't like it @ 1.4-1.6Ghz on idle, you can raise it up to 2.0Ghz or more if you like...

Maximum Processor State should be left at 100% unless you want to FORCE a lower clock under load.

 

With CPUZ open, you can play around with MINs and see it go up and down in real time. (Again, W7 only I think W8/8.1 does High performance tuning automatically)

You should be on High Performance power profiles anyway regardless of OS.
