machdep.hwpstate_pkg_ctrl no visible effect ?

[drsnx60]

this is an i7-11700K cpu running FreeBSD 15.1 Stable .

As I understand it, machdep.hwpstate_pkg_ctrl tunable is expected to control if the whole CPU/all cores runs at the same frequency or if the
Cores run at individual frequencies .

regardless if the machdep.hwpstate_pkg_ctrl is ONE ore ZERO , the cores appears to run at individual frequencies ? why is this ?

sysctl -a | grep machdep.hwpstate_pkg
machdep.hwpstate_pkg_ctrl: 1 ( set to Package control (default ) )

The cores run at individual speeds ?

Thread 'Topics about unsupported FreeBSD versions'

Jun 24, 2013

The FreeBSD Forums cater primarily to end-users and systems administrators. As such, the Forums focus almost exclusively on FreeBSD versions that are officially supported according to the official FreeBSD website. Since resources are scarce, the FreeBSD Forums strongly suggest that anyone asking questions on the forums run one of the officially supported versions (see the links at the end of this post), for which the installed user base is logically the broadest.

In terms of 'unsupported versions' we make the following distinction:

1. FreeBSD versions that are...

STABLE versions are supported on this forum. It's the CURRENT and EOL ones that aren't.
