Derated power +is the power consumed when running a specific application. Thermal +design power (TDP) is an example of derated power. + +This driver permits reading of registers providing power information +of AMD Family 15h and 16h processors via TDP algorithm. + +For AMD Family 15h and 16h processors the following power values can +be calculated using different processor northbridge function +registers: + +* BasePwrWatts: + Specifies in watts the maximum amount of power + consumed by the processor for NB and logic external to the core. + +* ProcessorPwrWatts: + Specifies in watts the maximum amount of power + the processor can support. +* CurrPwrWatts: + Specifies in watts the current amount of power being + consumed by the processor. + +This driver provides ProcessorPwrWatts and CurrPwrWatts: + +* power1_crit (ProcessorPwrWatts) +* power1_input (CurrPwrWatts) + +On multi-node processors the calculated value is for the entire +package and not for a single node.
