I have googled a bit further. And the cpu turbo does work, however, it
is not reported back to ubuntu.
Using turbostat, a tool to test the turbo function under linux. I was
able to confirm that turbo is actually working.
(might be something to fix, since people will have questions about it.)

Cheers,

Willem
