looks like powermanagement to me. what does cpufreq-info says
example
analyzing CPU 3:
driver: intel_pstate
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 3
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 3
maximum transition latency: 0.97 ms.
hardware limits: 800 MHz - 3.00 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance, powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 3.00 GHz.
The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 2.14 GHz (asserted by call to hardware).
last but not least cpufreq* drivers are loaded?
