Hi,

I recently upgrade my CPU to i5-4570 from G3220 Pentium. but I got below result when checking for new CPU info

rama@laLiTH-RAM:~$ sudo lshw | grep core
  *-core

          configuration: driver=hsw_uncore

	External Clock: 100 MHz
	Max Speed: 7000 MHz
	Current Speed: 3400 MHz

These Problems are associated with grub, Reinstalling Grub may fix the Issue.

If you search enabling all cores in ubuntu on internet you can find guides like the one I attached and even videos, hope I could help, I'm not expert enough to tell you a fix by my experience :neutral_face:

i've gone through articles like this but they are temporary, I'm looking for a native solution like re compiling kernel or updating grub as @anon6471198 said, thanks for responding
