Dear Maintainer, Intel is planing to release the next-generation Xeon products [1] and some of the features are not enabled on Debian. It would be useful to have this feature in Bookworm. # Intel(R) Speed Select Technology CONFIG_INTEL_SPEED_SELECT_INTERFACE=m The Intel(R) Speed Select Technology (Intel(R) SST) provides a powerful new collection of features that give more granular control over CPU performance. With Intel(R) SST, one server can be configured for power and performance for a variety of diverse workload requirements. Refer to the links below for an overview of the technology: * https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/speed-select-technology-article.html * https://builders.intel.com/docs/networkbuilders/intel-speed-select-technology-base-frequency-enhancing-performance.pdf These capabilities are further enhanced in some of the newer generations of server platforms where these features can be enumerated and controlled dynamically without pre-configuring via BIOS setup options. This dynamic configuration is done via mailbox commands to the hardware. One way to enumerate and configure these features is by using the Intel Speed Select utility.
