Unfortunately, it appears that on this site, I can't even mention the name of the site in question. It begins with an r and is a VERY well known discussion site. The thread title is "is Power Management configurable on Monterey for SandyBridge CPU". Google should find it for you. There are links to kext itself on Github in the discussionThanks for that. Is it possible for you to repost without the links? I can search google for more information with the keywords to try to reverse engineer the links. So I understand correctly, you are saying speedstep is actually working for you then?
Also did you simply add this kext, or was there any extra configuration required?
I just added the kext - all that it actually does is to slightly edit a plist that has the weightings for what macOS takes into account in deciding what hardware it's dealing with.
I don't know how to fully test Speedstep. All I can tell you is that previously on my system the CPU was stuck in a single low power state, and now it at least cycles between a low power idle state (+- 8W per the Intel tool), and a high power state (40W+). And the Geekbench scores are now correct for a 2600K CPU
