This is almost certainly because Linux doesn't properly manage your CPU states. Same story with linux on my windows laptop. Apparently you can recompile the kernel with some third party modules that let you manage that stuff but after a few hours of trying I couldn't get it to work. Probably because there isn't any documentation beyond a couple stack overflow questions and a blog post written in 2011. I hate linux too. My biggest gripe is that I use differing amounts of monitors and making the nvidia proprietary drivers function correctly with xmonad and multiple screens is something I've managed to make work maybe twice.
