You may want to insert kernel module automatically by adding appropriate configuration. In Linux, you will need msr-tools, and msr kernel module. Note that /proc/cpuinfo returns CPU family and model by decimal. Model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU 1.80GHz In Intel, they distinguish between CPU using CPU family and model. Some CPUs are named different, but they are actually same varient of other CPU. In fact, some CPUs are very different even if they are named after same friendly name. We call them by their friendly names - such as 'Core i7' - but this is not enough in this article. In this article, I will directly modify MSR (Model-Specific Registers) to achieve similar effect. But on other OSes, there are no specific (user friendly) tools available. On Windows, Intel XTU can be used for modifying turbo-boost parameter and TDP related settings. If you can understand Korean, I recommend reading that article, not this. This article is translation of this article.

Only tested on Intel i7-8550U (Kaby Lake R).Check your own CPU's MSR address using Intel's documentation.

MSR address (greatly) differs from CPU to CPU.

I'm not responsible for any destruction caused by this article.

MSR modification may void your CPU's (or system board's) warranty.
