Acpi Genuineintel---intel64-family-6-model-58 [exclusive] -
The string "acpi genuineintel---intel64-family-6-model-58" is a specific Hardware ID
BSOD or Crash Logs: If your system crashes, the error log often prints the processor ID to help developers know exactly which hardware was running at the time of the fault. Key Legacy Features acpi genuineintel---intel64-family-6-model-58
Are you currently experiencing performance issues or seeing this specific text in an error message? Solved: intel graphic update _CST (C-State table) – Lists supported idle states
Support for AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions), SSE4.2, POPCNT, and AES-NI instruction sets. OS power drivers (Intel P-state driver on Linux,
2.1 Linux kernel ACPI processor registration
When the kernel initializes ACPI, it examines each processor object (\PR_ or _SB_.PRxy). The acpi_processor_get_info() function prints or matches the CPUID against ACPI IDs. You might see similar strings in:
2.2 C-States (Idle Power)
_CST(C-State table) – Lists supported idle states (C1, C6, possibly C7). For Ivy Bridge:If you are still running a "Model 58" machine, you are using a piece of hardware that introduced several modern standards:
- OS power drivers (Intel P-state driver on Linux, ACPI cpufreq on older stacks) tune frequencies; for model 58, the Intel P-state driver yields better efficiency and responsiveness than legacy ACPI DVFS in many workloads.
- Thermal management: package-level thermals reported via platform-specific ACPI methods and MSRs (model-specific registers). Tjmax values differ by SKU and stepping.
- This is an Ivy Bridge-era CPU.
- It supports specific C-state latency quirks (e.g., deeper C6 states may cause unresponsiveness if not properly gated).
- The
intel_idledriver should use a predefined state table for Model 58 instead of relying on the ACPI_CSTobject.
