Turbostat Gains New Features & New Hardware Support With Linux 6.10


Linux's Turbostat utility that is developed by Intel for reporting idle/power state statistics, temperatures, and other useful data on modern Intel/AMD processors has seen its changes submitted for the in-development Linux 6.10 kernel.

These changes for Linux 6.10 include the work noted last month for making Turbostat more useful to non-root users. Now with Linux 6.10 there is the ability for non-root users to leverage Turbostat and instead query some of the data via sysfs/perf rather than the MSR driver. Turbostat also adds new support for upcoming Intel hardware where there can be multiple uncore frequencies per package.
