Thanks!

First off, the CPUiD information reported by turbostat indicates that
the system is a Jasper Lake.  Is this correct?

Second, the overall picture I've got from the turbostat data indicates
that there is a correlation between Bzy_MHz and CPU%c7 (the more time
spent in C7, the higher the average "busy" frequency) which is
generally consistent with the hypothesis that using more C1 causes the
processor to drop the maximum frequency.

Something like this may be induced by RAPL power limits, presumably PL1.

Do you use thermald?
