Subject: Re: [PATCH] intel_idle: Add ICL support
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2020 19:19:35 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <72fab2376722c6169549669016933217d3da34a0.camel@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAGX5Wg0=K5AaTut5KH3R3+oasM5MM7PaJ9Z_L56xSNckMbWC9g@mail.gmail.com>

Indeed, when I compare them:

acpi_idle (without the patch):

CPU%c1  CPU%c6  CPU%c7  CoreTmp PkgTmp  GFX%rc6 Pkg%pc2 Pkg%pc3 Pkg%pc6 Pkg%pc7 Pkg%pc8 Pkg%pc9 Pk%pc10 PkgWatt
29.48   0.00    60.71   58      58      97.96   16.96   0.00    0.00    0.00    0.00    0.00    0.00    6.08

intel_idle (with the patch):

CPU%c1  CPU%c6  CPU%c7  CoreTmp PkgTmp  GFX%rc6 Pkg%pc2 Pkg%pc3 Pkg%pc6 Pkg%pc7 Pkg%pc8 Pkg%pc9 Pk%pc10 PkgWatt
56      56      96.64   300     68.29   48.58   0.00    0.00    0.00    0.00    0.00    0.00    7.38    0.00

With intel_idle we reach PC10, without it we only go as deep as PC2 - huge difference.

I really wonder why the BIOS does not expose deeper C-states... And if
it does not, is this for a reason? And how windows works then?

May be there is a BIOS update that fixes this problem? May be Windows
user get it quickly because stuff like this is often well-integrated in
Windows? Would you please check if there is newer BIOS?

Artem.
