I'm confused, aren't 'constant' and 'invariant' the same thing?

Linguistically yes, but the spec for constant wasn't constant enough, and so they came up with another word for constant rather than constanter or constantv2

constant means the speed doesn't change with cpu frequency, invariant means the speed doesn't change with power saving.
