Por que o governador da CPU não respeita o limite máximo de velocidade da CPU?

Eu corri:

sudo parallel cpufreq-set -c {} -u 2000MHz ::: 0 1 2 3

ainda quando eu estresso a CPU, cpufreq-inforetorna:

analyzing CPU 2:
  driver: intel_pstate
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 2
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 2
  maximum transition latency: 4294.55 ms.
  hardware limits: 800 MHz - 2.90 GHz
  available cpufreq governors: performance, powersave
  current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 2.00 GHz.
                  The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 2.29 GHz.

2,29 GHz é superior a 2,00 GHz. E esse comportamento é visto para todos os núcleos.

É como se ignorasse completamente o limite de frequência.

Por que isso acontece? Existe uma maneira de evitar que isso aconteça?
