[Intel 12th] 0.011W Package Power Floor via Custom Optimization

The Challenge

Current Windows 11 power management protocols often fail to reach the theoretical hardware residency limits of modern silicon. My research focuses on bridging this gap through a custom-developed optimization framework that interacts directly with kernel-level registers.

The Breakthrough

Using a proprietary optimization solution I have developed over the past 18 months, I have successfully triggered unprecedented power residency floors on Intel 12th Gen hardware:

Package Power Floor: 0.011W (11mW).

GPU Power: Fully gated at 0W during idle transitions.

Clock Frequency: Observed dips to 1.8MHz during state transitions.

Thermal/Active Range: Sustained 0.4W - 0.5W at 25°C - 35°C under light workloads.

Technical Context

These metrics (0.011W and 1.8MHz) represent peak optimization floors during system fluctuations and state transitions. They demonstrate a significant threshold of hardware residency that is normally bypassed by standard OS power profiles.

Verification and Engineering Review

The methodology involves complex synchronization of MSR and PCIe offsets that I have integrated into a unified optimization environment. To protect the intellectual property of this software-level integration:

Preliminary HWiNFO logs are available for review on Microsoft Q&A: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5708928/breaking-the-efficiency-barrier-intel-12th-gen-ach.

The entire optimized environment has been preserved via a verified disk image for formal validation.

I am seeking a technical review with a Senior Power Management Engineer or Kernel Architect to discuss these findings. I am prepared to provide a full demonstration of the software framework and the resulting residency logs under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
