pstates.  This value is independent of whether turbo has been
enabled or disabled.

num_pstates: displays the number of pstates that are supported
by hardware. This number is independent of whether turbo has
been disabled or not.

For contemporary Intel processors, the frequency is controlled by the
processor itself and the P-states exposed to software are related to
performance levels. The idea that frequency can be set to a single
