Curious as to the scenario/procedure you can do to reproduce this? It would appear there are a number of scenarios that can produce this behaviour so knowing how to reproduce it consistently would help to convice @Framework that the issue is unresolved.
See that there’s been a number of threads on this issue:
My DIY edition running Win10 is getting stuck clocked at .39Ghz. This happens even when plugged in. After a reboot it runs at full speed for a minute or two, then reverts to .39Ghz.

I’m following the instructions on this thread and this did not fix it.
Hi all
I just got my Framework laptop, and got it up and running very easily, but I seem to be having this weird issue where the processor is running a 0.39GHz, I’ve seen this happen with more than just the Framework laptops, but I thought I’d try here first, the CPU usage seems to sit arount the 5 - 10% mark as well.
I have the 12th Gen i5 DIY edition, 32GB RAM (1 x 32GB), 1TB NVMe, I have dual booted Windows 10, and Kubuntu, both have the latest updates, driviers installed (I had to use the …
So I’ve got a good one here.
12th Gen FW13.
Had it for about 2.5 years.
Only problem ever had been it gets hot - 100C - when running under load, and the fan of course goes bananas, and I in the past did work with thermald to address this, which after a year or more stopped working, and then I moved to simply capping the same CPU freq to 2.0 GHz.
Now I have a completely new problem, and seemingly from out of nowhere - but it is something I suspect has in fact occasionally been happening for a…
Have you ever noticed that your 12th Gen Intel is extremely sluggish because it’s stuck at 400 MHz (on all cores, for a prolonged time, even after cooling down)?

Have also seen that Framework have tried to fix this issue in previous BIOS updates:
We move this version to stable.
Note: BIOS version 3.17 can be downgraded to the previous stable version, 3.08, using the standard BIOS update procedure.
