okay, the thing is: my cpu randomly stops supporting boost state, but for the most part it’s happening
when i’m playing games so this is how it looks like when i boot up and set up everything with cpupower
by running frequency-set -g performance and -u 4100000:
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: intel_pstate
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported.
hardware limits: 800 MHz - 4.10 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 4.1 GHz.
The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
current CPU frequency: 4.0 GHz (asserted by call to kernel)
boost state support:
Supported: yes
Active: yes
and then when i run a game for some reason only AFTER the loading screen it changes to:
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: intel_pstate
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported.
hardware limits: 800 MHz - 4.10 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 2.40 GHz.
The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
current CPU frequency: 2.4 GHz (asserted by call to kernel)
boost state support:
Supported: no
Active: no
oh and for thefirst time it happened i was using prime-run to run minecraft on my nvidia gpu but i stopped having this problem when running it without prime-run but using Xorg.conf configured by
Xorg --configure

it probably should be noted that when i boot up the laptop my cpupower shows that boost state is not supported for first 30-60seconds and even after that i need to change max cpu frequency by myself
just to add i suspect it might have to do something with GPU offloading
