I'm using sched-util on both of the systems.

I've tried a number of different ways of forcing builds only on the A-75 
cores, and I simply cannot get the load to be "enough" to kick in the 
boost frequency.

An example being

git clone https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij.git

cd zellij

taskset --cpu-list 4-7 cargo build --release

git clean -fdx

taskset --cpu-list 6-7 cargo build --release


On my C630, it never goes higher than 85C with the 4 cores being used, 
and with 2, it never goes about 65C and I do not get any 2.96GHz.  It's 
currently sitting at "6" in the time_in_state for 2965800.
