The non-initialized AMX state can be the cause of C-state demotion from C6 to C1E. This low-power idle state may improve power savings and thus result in a higher available turbo frequency budget. This behavior is implementation-specific. Initialize the state for the C6 entrance of Sapphire Rapids as needed.
