macOS Native CPU/IGPU Power Management

[toleda]

ran Geekbench tests

My mistake, load AppleIntelInfo.kext, start IPG, run benchmark, short idle, take scream shots, cat AppleIntelInfo.kext and unload.

No problem. Here are the new files. I have included pre-benchmark screenshot, along with IPG screenshots during CPU and Compute tests. The appleintelinfo output is attached too.

new files

AppleIntelInfo shows actual minimum freq at 1300, s/b 800; verify BIOS
AppleIntelInfo shows no HD 630 PM, see Post #1/Requirements/3. System Definition/SMBIOS/3. Native IGPU PM
IPG shows Power far from limit, try Cinebench.

I will do as you suggested and report back. Also, I was curious what does Platform Power Management option in the BIOS does?

what does Platform Power Management option in the BIOS does?

No idea. Clearly, not applicable to macOS.

So I added the the GFX0 to IGPU patch in Clover > ACPI. Also changed the PluginType=1. It was previously set as 0. However, I am not sure how to check the min freq in BIOS (Sorry for being dumb in this case). After the above changes, I rebooted the machine, loaded kext, took cinebench for both CPU and OpenGL, idle 1-2 minutes, appleintelinfo output, kext unload.

Here are the file. The screenshot was taken just after the test.

Not correct, set to 0.
See Post #1 for IPG/Cinebench GPU and CPU screenshot, no correlation.

Made the edit. PluginType=0
Rebooted. Kext load, cinebench cpu, half minute idle, cinebench OpenGL, idle, cat appleintel, kextunload. Here are the screenshots and appleintelinfo data. I hope it is correct now :/

The screenshots were taken a few seconds later the test started. I have attached it for both the tests - CPU and OpenGL.

IOReg?

IOReg?

Just taken it right now.
