Most probably I'm banging at the wrong door, just read this:

Post installation is easy, as this board doesn't require a DSDT

1. If this is true I should remove the SSDT-XCPM.aml patch?
2. Either way the intel gadget should be reporting IA?

is it worthy / possible to enable C States on this machine?

Likely enabled, attach AppleIntelInfo output

Use PluginType=1 or ssdt; PluginType not set, use ssdt.

Either way the intel gadget should be reporting IA?

IPG/Power/0.74 W wrong, no idea what is the problem. Contact Intel/IPG

Thanks, I'll update my build guide.

Thanks @toleda

You are right, I've missed this one. Here is the updated AppleIntelInfo output: AppleIntelInfo.txt

IPG/Power/0.74 W wrong, no idea what is the problem. Contact Intel/IPG

A little research and I saw I'm not the only one with the same problem:

I'll try to ping someone at Intel to see, to see if there is any luck.

@toleda Could you please confirm if the output looks good?

 

[toleda]

confirm if the output looks good?

Did not let AppleIntelInfo.kext run long enough to see lower p states.

 

[ammutable]

Did not let AppleIntelInfo.kext run long enough to see lower p states.

I didn't track the time, sorry.

Here is an update: AppleIntelInfo0.txt

Diff both files and I can see there is more output on pstates on the last one
