I couldn't tell if this was a software (fedora22) or a hardware problem (either my chips or my motherboard or both). Basically I am even unsure how to start:

on an Intel setup I'd be using the awesome i7z program. I found out about cpupower but more on that below. First the pastbin.com of my dmesg:

fedora-22-quadg34-dmesg - Pastebin.com

Second, here's the cpupower results after running some commands

current idle speeds:
Code:
[gigatexal@localhost ~]$ sudo cpupower frequency-info -w

[sudo] password for gigatexal: 

analyzing CPU 0:

1400000
Here's what cpupower states while running mprime on all threads, I was expecting it would at least boost to 2.3ghz

Code:
Every 1.0s: sudo cpupower frequency-info                Fri Aug 28 09:01:17 2015



analyzing CPU 0:

  driver: acpi-cpufreq

  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0

  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0

  maximum transition latency: 5.0 us.

  hardware limits: 1.40 GHz - 2.30 GHz

  available frequency steps: 2.30 GHz, 1.40 GHz

  available cpufreq governors: conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand, per

formance

  current policy: frequency should be within 1.40 GHz and 1.40 GHz.

                  The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use

                  within this range.

  current CPU frequency is 1.40 GHz (asserted by call to hardware).

  boost state support:

    Supported: yes

    Active: yes

    Boost States: 2

    Total States: 7

    Pstate-Pb0: 3200MHz (boost state)

    Pstate-Pb1: 2600MHz (boost state)

    Pstate-P0:  2300MHz

    Pstate-P1:  2300MHz

    Pstate-P2:  2300MHz

    Pstate-P3:  2300MHz

    Pstate-P4:  1400MHz

Whats the BIOS report it running at? Maybe check the Power Now (AMD speed-step equivalent) setting in the BIOS?
