Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
I have started using the docked Command. It shows %, which is great, but we have a couple of Dell laptops that suddenly cap 0.59Ghz - which the CPU doesn't convey.
### Scenario when this would be used?
If it could show the CPU speed as well as an optional, then I would quickly (as would others) see if the CPU isn't running at an appropriate speed. Currently you launch task manager, then performance, then click on the CPU.
### Supporting information

Research direction
The request targets the docked Command Palette and its existing percentage display, with Task Manager’s CPU performance view as the comparison. Start by locating the docked Command Palette entry point and determine how CPU speed is exposed on the affected Dell laptops. Done means an optional speed value appears alongside the percentage and reflects thermal limiting.
