Linux 6.10 Delivers AMD & Intel P-State Driver Updates To Refine Power Management


The ACPI and power management / thermal subsystem changes were merged last week for the Linux 6.10 kernel

The Intel P-State driver reworks handling of disabled turbo functionality so the maximum CPU frequency is updated consistently. Also on the Intel side is PMU support within their TPMI RAPL (Run-Time Average Power Limiting) driver.
