This of course gives better performance. But, it appears that the external power circuit was not designed for the extra power load. So the extra power comes from the batteries when higher loading of the CPUs is used.
The small cores are not overclocked. The big ones are overclocked by 0.2GHz. I doubt that matters. That's just one of the many imperfections of the Pinebook Pro.
The quick and dirty way is capping scaling_max_freq https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation...-guide.txt
The proper way would be setting non-overclocking core frequencies in the device tree. My Pinebook Pro review (see Website icon below) scratches that (search for rk3399-opp.dtsi)
