Comment 14 for bug 1851749

Glad to see this filed, I have the same issue. Note there is a good discussion of the issue here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/870u0a/t480s_linux_throttling_bug/

And the User made a github repo to address the problem in testing:

https://github.com/erpalma/throttled

I can clearly see the effect of the change using s-tui and monitoring cpu freq. Before the change, the throttle will limit me to around 1.5-1.7 GHZ under load, after the change, it's at 2.7GHZ consistent without the constant throttle messages in syslog/journalctl. I don't have enough depth in this area to understand the technical tradeoffs, but I did want to point out the research that I have used thus far.
