    I had the same question once, and the answer i think was to disable pstate kernel parameter. This allows you to use fixed frequency.... I will try to find the right command. Commented Sep 6, 2018 at 19:03

  • Looks like you need userspace governor to use specific frequency for a specific CPU core. What I suggested (in an answer which should be deleted soon because it's useless now) sudo cpupower -c 3 frequency-set --governor powersave --min 1200MHz --max 1200MHz won't work because min/max affect the governor itself, so -c 3 has no effect, it will affect all CPUs and lock them to 1.2GHz at all times.
