New v2.11.22 efficiency and performance cores frequencies don't look right for Mac mini M4

Details:

• Device: [Mac mini M4
• macOS: 15.2
• Application version: 2.11.22

Power efficient, yes, but not that efficient 😉

[oscarbg]

can confirm!
even under high cpu load! as others tools report 0mhz when under light load..

Hi. Could someone with m4 run this build for a few seconds with opened popup view?
Stats.dmg.zip

It will collect some logs to the log.txt that could be find in the Documents folder. And share the logs please.

thx, please check if there are any output of:
ioreg -r -f -x -c AppleARMIODevice | grep "voltage-states1-sram"
and
ioreg -r -f -x -c AppleARMIODevice | grep "voltage-states5-sram"

hi, please try this build:
Stats.dmg.zip

[andrewr-dev]

I don't see any log.txt with the new build.
Efficiency and Performance core frequencies still show as 1MHz

[exelban]

what about this one:

Stats.dmg.zip

[andrewr-dev]

Looks better, frequencies are in the correct range.

Minimal CPU usage:

High CPU usage:
