CPUPOWER-INFO(1)
π CPUPOWER-INFO π
okay bestie, so this is cpupower-info, part of the cpupower Manual β¨ β the little page that spills the tea on what your processor's power settings are actually doing rn π«π
πΈ NAME πΈ
cpupower-info β shows processor power related kernel or hardware configurations β¨
like, it tells you what your kernel and your hardware have decided about saving power. no cap.
π SYNOPSIS π
cpupower info [options]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
cpupower info shows kernel configurations or processor hardware registers affecting processor power saving policies. it's giving "let me read your settings" energy fr fr π
so here's the thing: some options are platform wide, and some affect single cores. by default, values of core zero are displayed only. π
if you want the settings of all cores, you'd do:
cpupower --cpu all cpuinfo
and for how to choose specific cores, go peek at cpupower(1). iykyk π
π OPTIONS π
-b,--perf-biasβ gets the current performance bias value. literally just reads it, doesn't change anything π
π SEE ALSO π
options are described in detail in:
π«Ά tiny reminder bestie: this page only shows you stuff. if you wanna change things, that's a whole other page (hi cpupower-set(1)).
and that's the whole vibe, bestie π this lil gem is from the cpupower Manual, dated 22/02/2011 β vintage but still serving β¨πΈ go forth and inspect those cores ππ¦
