DetailsDescription: Intel-pstate has major performance regressions in kernel 4.6. The kernel should not be updated until this is fixed to prevent major slowdowns on Intel based PCs. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=P-State-Possible-4.6-Regression
Additional info: Kernel 4.6 (currently in testing) Steps to reproduce: CPU benchmark kernel 4.5 vs 4.6 on an Intel-based PC with the intel-pstate scaling driver. |

Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: We have upgraded the kernel a number of times, even. If there are specific issues that can be fixed, report them upstream or ask upstream to recall a kernel release "because benchmarks omg".

Installed 4.6 today with a Haswell i4790. With earlier kernels due to the config MHz=300 setting in Arch kernel, there would be no CPU scaling. Now with this kernel, its all normal like in SUSE and Ubuntu and Fedora kernels.
