https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72211 Bug ID: 72211 Summary: intel_pstate Haswell CPU is not entering hardware package idle state Product: Power Management Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 3.13.6 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: cpufreq Assignee: cpufreq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: opensource@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No Created attachment 129641 --> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=129641&action=edit Kernel Config (Archlinux) Intel Pentium G3220 is not reaching package idle states above PC3. CPU is in C6 for over 99% (no C7 on pentium). Package idle states start with 97% in PC2. After five minute idle they drop to 97% PC3. But they never enter PC6. Kernel (archlinux), Linux eagle 3.13.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 7 22:47:48 CET 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux config is attached. I tried 3.14-rc6 with similiar results. turbostat output is below.
