amdgpu_pp_power(9)

💅 amdgpu_pp_power 💅

okay so welcome to amdgpu_pp_power, bestie — this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's all about keeping your APU from absolutely devouring your power budget 🔥 it's short, it's sweet, and it ate, so let's get into it 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

APU power is managed to system-level requirements through the PPT (package power tracking) feature 💖

Like, PPT is literally there to limit power to the requirements of the power source — and no cap, it could be dynamically updated to maximize APU performance within the system power budget 👑 so your chip gets to be main character energy inside the limits the system can actually feed it 🌈

Two types of power measurement can be requested, where supported, with :c:type:enum pp_power_type <pp_power_type>`. 🦋 two!! where supported!! the way that's the whole measurement situation iykyk 😭

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

• Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/include/kgd_pp_interface.h ✨
• enum pp_power_limit_level(9)
• enum pp_power_type(9)

go read those too, bestie, they're iconic and they're right there 💜

fr fr keep the caveat in mind: those two power measurement types are only available where supported — no guessing, no inventing extra behaviour 🙈

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💋 this gem comes from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/include, dated October 2026 — slay, periodt 🎀💖✨
