Whats the problem?
Are you asking about the CPU MHz: 1600.015 reading?
If so: its downclocking because its not under load.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underclocking
CPU's underclock the MHz when the usage is low to conserve power, and lower heat output.

The Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 has a base of 2.4GHz and turbo boosts to 3.2GHz. As MagicalTrain mentioned, the 1600MHz you see is the idle speed. Put some load on the CPU and it should raise its clock speed.
It will most likely be to save power/heat, most modern CPU's will slow down if they don't need to be running at full tilt these days.
Now you can usually pin them to full performance in the Bios/UEFI if you are running something that's sensitive to the cpu freq changing but otherwise why bother, it should step up to the next frequency/power setting if it needs to.
Wouldn't this just be provider limiting frequency/% (Virtualizor has feature for this?). cpuinfo is static I thought, at least on VMs, lscpu shows active frequency? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, maybe I'm just forgetting but obviously I'm aware of the Intel underclocking features. Edit: I just realized how dumb that is since lscpu pulls cpuinfo and something else.
I think your are right. Even if the CPU is in powersave mode and shows let say 800Mhz on the host node, the VPS should see the CPU normal base clock. It should not fluctuate or shows a lower value.
well i have 6 core, when all processor utilized and overload that clock speed didn't change. Keep at 1600.015 Mhz
i have other vps with 4 core
seems faster than my 6 core.
@logaritse Most likely dynamic clock.
And... I see the ops signature, and wish to cry.
