CPUFREQ Power Manager (or just CPUFREQ) is a Gnome Shell extension that makes it easy change the CPU governor (powersave / performance) and monitor the CPU frequency. The extension can also set the minimum and maximum CPU frequency, enable or disable turbo boost, and display some system status messages which can inform the user when CPU throttling is occurring, or when there are some CPU load issues.
