Recently I bought new CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS, it appear that has 2GHz CPU speed, and handling 2Gbps PON + PPPoE is stable
but other CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS just tun at 1.7GHz, is not possible to increase CPU speed?
give extra 300MHz would help 2Gbps PON PPPoE stability
The two items "belong" to different production batches/board revisions, one is factory software 7.9 (older, 1700 MHz) and one is 7.15 (newer, 2000 MHz), sometimes Mikrotik makes these kinds of changes without publishing anything about it, if you check the device page:
https://mikrotik.com/product/ccr2004_1g_12s_2xs
it still has 1700 MHz listed as CPU speed.
You can check what you have as options under:

seem can't set CPU Speed
It’s not possible to increase CPU speed. The newer one with 2GHz ist a different hardware revision.
Could you check for any "/r2" or other discriminator to the first model? Just asking but it could explain the "mistery".
just type /r2 in terminal?
No, on the label on the chasiss or box it camoe in. Maybe model could show it.
/system/routerboard/print
It shows up in /system/routerboard/print as revision. It is not present for the base version.

This CCR2004 really can't handle 2Gbps, the FastPath & FastTrack didn't work because of PPPoE Client pegging cpu0
I wish Mikrotik release 3GHz CCR just to support stupid ISP and stupid ancient PPPoE
So you have the newer faster model.
Are you sure it cant handle?I have CCR2004-16G-2S+ with exact same CPU(1700mhz), it handles 2200mbit on pppoe client without breaking a sweat, only 25% CPU usage with 25+FW rules.
but not fast enough to handle 2Gbps plan
yours on XGSPON?
mine still in GPON, this speed test already peg the cpu2 at 100%
I conclude that CCR2004 incapable to handle 2Gbps PPPoE, the SoC lacks of any NPU
Perhaps Mikrotik build new router using MediaTek Filogic 880 that has NPU build-in, 2.5GbE x 4 + 2 x SFP+ and PPPoE can be offload to SoC
