Description:

**** PLEASE NOTICE ****
The widget breaks the whole desktop if you are using Qt 5.15.1.

I'm currently looking in Qt trying to pinpoint the issue but as a temporary fix, there is the following PR which you can apply

https://github.com/jsalatas/plasma-pstate/pull/64/commits/5221c1e9f2f5c4ed7f83dcbc4e623a9c89ae679d

Intel P-state and CPUFreq Manager is a KDE Plasma widget in order to control the frequencies of Intel CPUs and their integrated GPUs for any modern Intel Processors running in Active Mode with HWP or Active Mode Without HWP. It can also manage the processor's energy consumption through Energy-Performance Preference (EPP) knob (if supported) or the Energy-Performance Bias (EPB) knob (otherwise). [1]

Furthermore, it allows you to interact with the following vendor specific settings
1) Dell's Thermal Management Feature [2] through libsmbios library.
2) LG Gram laptop Battery care limit, USB charge and Fan mode features (on kernel 4.20 and higher) [3].

See README.md for installation instructions

I can see temp, clock and percentage when I hover the mouse cursor over the plasmoid icon, but if I click I only see a blank window instead of the controls. Any ideas?

Yes, but I don't have any other files on my /etc/sudoers.d directory besides 99-plasma-pstate. So the solution there eludes me.

9 I suppose GPU means intel GPU, not discrete GPU (nvidia/AMD)?

Yes! Exactly!
Actually there is a request to support dedicated GPUs, but I'm not sure what would be a valid usage scenario. I mean I suppose that when you are on dedicated GPU, you need the maximum performance from it. Right? :\
Anyway I would love to hear some opinions and usage scenarios about when someone needs to somehow limit the dedeicated GPU's performance.

Well, in my case I could use such a feature, mainly because I need discrete GPU in order to make physical video outputs available (intel GPU seems available only for laptop screen). So every now and then I've got discrete GPU enabled while running on battery. But usually I'm not very far from a plug...


I was only asking, though, not requesting a feature.

Thank you for this nice utility btw, I've been looking for such a KDE applet for months, and eventually you provide it with a nice and handy GUI!
Keep up the good work!

Since it cannot be installed directly from within KDE "Get more widgets" via GHNS, please leave this in the Other section, thanks.

Any chance to develop a similar plasmoid for AMD processors?

I'm afraid not as I don't own any AMD hardware. Sorry. :(
