| help |
| The powernow-k8 driver used to provide a sysfs knob called "cpb" |
| to disable the Core Performance Boosting feature of AMD CPUs. This |
| file has now been superseeded by the more generic "boost" entry. |
| |
| By enabling this option the acpi_cpufreq driver provides the old |
| entry in addition to the new boost ones, for compatibility reasons. |

| help |
| This adds AMD-specific powersave bias function to the ondemand |
| governor, which allows it to make more power-conscious frequency |
| change decisions based on feedback from hardware (available on AMD |
| Family 16h and above). |
| |
| Hardware feedback tells software how "sensitive" to frequency changes |
| the CPUs' workloads are. CPU-bound workloads will be more sensitive |
| -- they will perform better as frequency increases. Memory/IO-bound |
| workloads will be less sensitive -- they will not necessarily perform |
| better as frequency increases. |

| This adds the CPUFreq driver for Intel Pentium 4 / XEON |
| processors. When enabled it will lower CPU temperature by skipping |
| clocks. |
| |
| This driver should be only used in exceptional |
| circumstances when very low power is needed because it causes severe |
