By testing on two bare metal machines, we noticed that CPU frequencies are automatically tuned down when the load is light, regardless of the manual configuration.

For example, if we set all CPUs to be 2GHz by the following command.

export FREQ=2000MHz; cpupower frequency-set -d ${FREQ} 2>&1 > /dev/null ; cpupower frequency-set -u ${FREQ} 2>&1 > /dev/null

And then observe all CPU frequencies by the following command.

cpupower monitor -m Mperf

The results are shown below.
