Thanks for your suggestions, but this would be really strange, as I cannot remember having updated the BIOS recently or seen any settings for it (I think I’m since 5 years on Linux and how I could had updated the BIOS without booting DOS?) – but nevertheless: if the BIOS has some settings, should the OS not be able to override (I would expect to see something in the Gnome Power setting or at least in the Tweak-Tool?
Edit: I just think something changed within the recent kernels, the ondemand/conservative PCUfreq governors are gone so I have powersave (800Mhz min. clock) all the time enabled, will test it with performance (2600Mhz min clock) now:
