Just believe what it says. You need either a:
- power supply with higher voltage
- better quality power supply with more constant voltage
- shorter usb power wire
- thicker usb power wire
Or all of them. Check it on the command line: "vcgencmd get_throttled".
It'll reply like: "throttled=0x50005". The first 5 means it has at one
point during this run been throttled due to undervoltage, the second 5
means it is currently being throttled due to undervoltage (a different
reason could be overheating). So sort it out or you will get lousy
performance.
bit 0: undervoltage (voltage < 4.63 V)
bit 1: capped (temp > 80 C)
bit 2: throttled (temp > 85 C or undervoltage)

: "Throttling removes turbo mode, which reduces core voltage, and sets arm
and gpu frequencies to non-turbo value. Capping just limits the arm
frequency (somewhere between 600MHz and 1200MHz) to try to avoid
throttling. If you are throttled and not under-voltage then you can assume
over-temperature. (confirm with vcgencmd measure_temp)."
