Ah! My bad!
So, I changed it to MacbookPro12,1 rebooted without caches -> no change
Ran ssdtPRGen again, replaced SSDT, rebooted without caches-> still no change

Still not a point below 1.3, though maybe somewhat quiter?
Could this be due the the SMBIOS only?

Check Activity Monitor.

Get rid of things not needed. (iStatMenus, Android File transfer?, Boom).

Even running Activity Monitor, Intel Power Gadget, etc. can affect the ability of the system to reach idle states.

Monitor only with AppleIntelInfo.kext, with nothing running on the desktop, and background apps, menu utilities, etc to a minimum.

I don't think its due to processor use, cause then the dips would go a little below 1.3 atleast.. Though I did close everything, and used only AppleIntelInfo.kext Just in case:

Did you remove the items I mentioned?

I made sure they were not running. Should I completely remove them?

Did you check in ioreg? Last ioreg you provided still had them.

Troubleshooting basic concept: Reduce the number of variables.

You could also do a fresh install to another partition for comparison. It would only take 20 minutes and would be certain to not have any of the junk you seemed to have installed.

Well, I changed the SMBIOS to MacbookAir6,2 and Voila! Its going back down to 0.8 again. I dont seem to face any other issue due to this SMBIOS as of now. Is it okay to stick to this?

MacBookAir7,x might also be something to try..

I can't seem to find an Air 7.x SMBIOS anywhere. Do you know anywhere particular I should be looking? Or should I work on creating a new one from scratch?
