I’m not sure about servers, but the current thinking in embedded devices is not to bother with steps between low-power and flat-out because the extra time involved will eat your power savings, so basically they run low power until they get any real amount of cpu load at which point they flip over to fastest-possible so they can finish the job and get back to idling at low power.
