macOS Native CPU/IGPU Power Management

[RehabMan]

Thanks, another question: Will this also work on my Vaio F11 having a very early Core i7 q720? Seems to be "Clarksfield" generation?

No.

Generate/PluginType/

• No entry or NO (with XCPM ssdt or ssdtPRGen ssdt)
• YES (no PM ssdt)

Plugin Type works in Sierra or only in High Sierra?

Intel Speed Step has been supported since Intel Core i/3rd generation processors and macOS 10.8 (IOReg/X86PlatformPlugin). Clover SSDT/Generate/PluginType works correctly with v4307 and newer.

Missed Post #1, this guide supports Intel Core i/4th generation and newer and macOS releases since 10.10.

Thank you, Toleda. I leave it checked. Not at home now, but watching on the Intel program, it keeps at 4.8GHz (I did OC on my 8700k) during a render at the premiere, for example. I say this because I did not read anything about the Plugin Type with 8700k in the Sierra.

At this time, no macOS version supports Core i/8th generation processor, i.e., 8700K.

Hmmm ... that's why you need FakePCIID to run, right? Is that what they call "spoof"?

Yes.

Please fill out your hardware profile so we know what you are working with. Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.

As for
Generate/PluginType/

• No entry or NO (with XCPM ssdt or ssdtPRGen ssdt)
• YES (no PM ssdt)

Have you placed a PM ssdt (either XCPM or ssdtPRGen) in your EFI/CLover/ACPI/Patched folder? If so, then you do not need to set clover to PluginType=yes.

This is my profile:

1. OS X version/motherboard model/BIOS version/processor/graphics

High Sierra / Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H-A-rev-10 / F3 BIOS version / I5-4460/ build in GPU

>> Have you placed a PM ssdt (either XCPM or ssdtPRGen) in your EFI/CLover/ACPI/Patched folder? If so, then you do not need to set clover to PluginType=yes.

NO.. i have not placed any of these files to that folder.

BTW, I dun see any of these when I use Xcode to edit the config.plist file as well

GPU: All Systems/Clover/config.plist/ACPI/DSDT/Patches/Item 0/Intel GPU PM- Rename GFX0 to IGPU

  • paste: to config.plist//ACPI/DSDT/Patches/

or should I go for the instruction listed here?

I don't understand the differences between this post and that post...
