Fixed with today's update. Thanks, MS!
NOTE: I had to reboot twice after updating. So if anyone is not seeing the fix try a restart.
Surface pro 4 - clock speed of CPU keeps the same

After updating to windows 10 (1607), I find that the clock speed of the CPU keeps to be 2.92GHz when plugged, and to be 2.47GHz when using battery. My surface pro 4 has a core i5 CPU. It seems strange because the clock speed of CPU should change with the workload in the Task Manager. Does anyone have the same problem?

2016-08-05T15:26:42+00:00 I had the same problem and it was solved by re-installing the update via the Media Creation Tool:

You do not have to create a USB stick, only execute the tool to update your device.
Did you wipe everything and reinstalled windows from scratch? Or did you keep your existing installation and only re-applied the update on top of it?

2016-08-05T16:03:21+00:00 I updated to 1607 and reset my SP4. Then I use the Media Creation Tool to re-install the update. Luckily, the clock speed of CPU steps down.
I just don't understand why Microsoft distributed such a "special" windows update to their Surface product.
After using SP4 for a while, the CPU stays at 2.90GHz always. Nothing helps to solve this problem. :(
