--- Comment #1 from Conrad Meyer <cem at freebsd.org> ---
This is a Jaguar-class (Family 16h) AMD CPU.

This information is probed automatically out of the ACPI information presented
by your BIOS.  That code hasn't changed appreciably in 4 years.  It seems your
BIOS does not provide a _CST for all 4 cores, or it is invalid.

Do you see any logs in dmesg about "skipping invalid Cx state" or similar?

Ah, it might be possible that your CPU is new enough to define the cores as
Device objects rather than Processor, but you're running too old of FreeBSD to
enumerate the Device objects and find appropriate C-states _CST tables?  I
don't know if r326956 has been MFCed to 11.x, but that change may address the
issue.

Early AP startup (present in 12.0, I think) may also affect this, but I'm not
sure.

C-state enumeration on Family 17h AMD CPUs seems to work just fine on CURRENT.
