Powertop, around 96-98% or so.
Turbostat doesn't show turbo frequencies for some reason under tsc_mhz,
and average cpu freq is lower than wcpupower monitor reports.
With a single 100% cpu thread I can get to 3ghz (still a little short),
however with every thread I add the clock speed goes slightly down.
Weird stuff.
Is there a way to view and force c-states? I tried using
turionpowercontrol but it didn't work, the cpu simply clocked up again
and it only has a max cstate and not a min cstate option.
I am curious is there a way to disable the second half of the 16 core
CPU optys in coreboot?

I see, thanks!
