SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add a widget to the taskbar or desktop and configure it to show CPU frequencies
2. open the terminal and run <watch "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz"> to get the current clocks

OBSERVED RESULT
The numbers are very different.

EXPECTED RESULT
They should be the same.

Correct GPU frequency, CPU core frequencies are stuck with the initial values that never change.

Same issue in KDE neon 5.27.

The widget shows correct real-time GPU frequency, but CPU core frequencies are stuck with the initial values that never change.
