CPU Speed Capped

[Dr.Disrespect]

For some reason my cpu speed is capped at 2.39 GHz when it should normally work on 2.60 GHz
I am on high performance power plan,
And my specs are
AMD A6-9225
Radeon R4

4 GB

When the CPU isn't under load, it'll idle down to save power- that's normal.

yes, like @Grabhanem said, when idle you're not supposed to hit max frequency. Try loading it up with sth heavy and if it doesn't hit max frequency at 100% utilization then you can proceed to investigate, if it does - everything's normal.

 

P.S. afaik AVX-512 instruction set extension runs at sub-nominal frequency, so try loading it up with sth basic at first (CPU Stress Test - An online tool to test your CPU stability | CPU Expert (cpux.net)  - like this thing - just set it to the number of threads you have, power at max and hit run)
