Starting with version 3.5 and going forward, only the 64-bit version and Windows 8* will be supported. Windows 7* and 32-bit versions of the Intel® Power Gadget for Windows* has ceased development from 3.0.7. With this release, we are providing functionality to evaluate power information on various platforms including notebooks, desktops and servers. It is supported on Windows* and macOS* and includes an application, driver, and libraries to monitor and estimate real-time processor package power information in watts using the energy counters in the processor. Intel® Atom™ processors are not supported. Intel® Power Gadget is a software-based power usage monitoring tool enabled for Intel® Core™ processors (from 2nd Generation up to 10th Generation Intel® Core™ processors). Windows*: Seung-Woo Kim, Karthik Krishnan, Vardhan Dugar, Joseph Jin-Sung Lee, Jun De Vega.Windows*: Joe Olivas, Timo Kleimola, Mark Price, Timothy McKay.Intel Power Gadget will show you power and energy information in watts, the clock speed frequency of the CPU in GHz, the temperature of the CPU, and CPU utilization.
See the following to learn more: For Mac: Using the Intel® Power Gadget API on Mac OS X. Intel® Power Gadget also provides a C/C Application Programming Interface (API) for accessing this power and frequency data in your program the API is supported on Windows and Mac OS X.
Is there another free program that can give frequency, temp, and power consumption? I also use XRG, but it doesn’t report frequency in a numeric form. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to work with dual CPUs.
The API is otherwise unlikely to be of interest to Mozilla developers.I like the Intel Power Gadget on my macbook pro as it gives a lot more and/or better information than the activity monitor does. Unfortunately, the Gecko profiler takes 1000 samples per second on desktop and is CPU intensive and so is likely to skew the RAPL estimates significantly, so the API integration was removed. At one point the Gecko Profiler used this API on Windows to implement experimental package power estimates. Version 3.0 (available on Mac and Windows, but not on Linux) also exposes an API from which the same measurements can be extracted programmatically. (An energia dashboard can be seen here please note that the data has not been updated since early 2014.) This feature has been used in energia, Roberto Vitillo's tool for systematically measuring differential power usage between different browsers. Intel Power Gadget can also log these results to a file. Specificially, the temperature is a proxy measurement that is affected by processor power consumption, rather than one that affects it, which makes it even less useful than most proxy measurements. This is interesting, but again not useful for power profiling purposes.
