--- Comment #41 from Scott Couston
GPU ---
Interesting topic. GPU is the second biggest power waster. Depending on your graphics driver and HW your GPU might do some powe
In any X_64 AMD CPU the CPU frequency is directly proportional to the GPU either as a separate PCIE or on Board.

Throttling ..........
Is our own current way of preventing overheat damage to I586 CPU but cannot be applied to X64
Powernow! .........
Should always be enabled. Yes there were issues. But there were significant improvements over the past years. Namely:.....
I dont care how much power I use or is wasted! Here the issue is that the Power config is vanilla - I have not disabled nor enabled anything to do with CPU - I can not do this as its greyed out and not accessible by default. I have NO ability to effect the greyed out images I offered you a pic There is no functional ability for me to do this in ANY X_64 AMD CPU!
We need a CPU Thermal Ladder Default Vanilla boot log shows that the thermal Ladder is not even available in X_64 AMD CPU
My Widget has NO trouble reporting default sensors on CPU Temp May I suggest you perform a test vanilla installation on any X_64 AMD CPU without touching ACPI and leaving default Cool 'n Quiet is disabled. Final thoughts are, openSUSE, SLED, SLES and Novell are all very highly committed to provide direct support to AMD and we advertise AMD in just about everything to do with these products. The amount of money that AMD throw our way in all the above products is enormous and I would hate to suggest that ignoring a vendor like AMD be taken lightly what so ever ! AMD is a huge huge money thrower at all of Novells products which is also include openSUSE, and to ignore software support for them would amount to suicide! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
