Hi,
can you show me the file /proc/acpi/processor/CPU*/power.
and are you sure your cpu usage is 0 or nearly zero.
this is the info of my laptop(using core 2 processors):
powertop's output:
Cn Avg residency P-states (frequencies)
C0 (cpu running) (10.6%) 2.00 Ghz 1.9%
C0 0.0ms ( 0.0%) 1.67 Ghz 0.1%
C1 mwait 0.0ms ( 0.0%) 1333 Mhz 0.0%
C2 mwait 0.0ms ( 0.0%) 1000 Mhz 98.0%
C3 mwait 1.1ms (89.4%)
and power things:
huang@huang-laptop:~$ cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/power
active state: C0
max_cstate: C8
maximum allowed latency: 2000000000 usec
states:
C1: type[C1] promotion[--] demotion[--]
latency[001] usage[00002364] duration[00000000000000000000]
C2: type[C2] promotion[--] demotion[--]
latency[001] usage[00070662] duration[00000000000006013816]
C3: type[C3] promotion[--] demotion[--]
latency[017] usage[04774185] duration[00000000010838418152]
you can see C3 with powertop,so i think your BIOS has enabled Deep
C-state.
