Public bug reported:

I use this laptop for scientific analysis, so the performance loss is
very noticeable. This happened suddenly, and does not appear to be
related to a cooling problem. Obvious things like rebooting or manually
setting the CPU governor to 'performance' don't resolve this.

Before, the CPU would go up to 3.2GHz, and the temperature would be pushing against 85C, which is 'high' for this CPU. 
Now, the frequency only goes up to 2GHz, and the temperature stays at 60C

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help resolve this
issue, I really cannot afford the performance loss that comes with this
problem, so I'm very motivated to help resolve this.
