MODEL-SPECIFIC REGISTERS (MSRS)

6

VR Therm Alert Status (R0)
When set, frequency is reduced below the operating system 

request due to a thermal alert from the Voltage Regulator.

7

Reserved.

8

Electrical Design Point Status (R0)
When set, frequency is reduced below the operating system 

request due to electrical design point constraints (e.g. maximum 

electrical current consumption).

9

Reserved.

10

Multi-Core Turbo Status (R0) 
When set, frequency is reduced below the operating system 

request due to Multi-Core Turbo limits

12:11

Reserved.

13

Core Frequency P1 Status (R0) 
When set, frequency is reduced below max non-turbo P1

14

Core Max n-core Turbo Frequency Limiting Status (R0) 
When set, frequency is reduced below max n-core turbo frequency

15

Core Frequency Limiting Status (R0) 
When set, frequency is reduced below the operating system 

request.

16

PROCHOT Log 
When set, indicates that the PROCHOT Status bit has asserted 

since the log bit was last cleared.
This log bit will remain set until cleared by software writing 0.

17

Thermal Log 
When set, indicates that the Thermal Status bit has asserted since 

the log bit was last cleared.
This log bit will remain set until cleared by software writing 0.

18

Power Budget Management Log 
When set, indicates that the PBM Status bit has asserted since the 

log bit was last cleared.
This log bit will remain set until cleared by software writing 0.

19

Platform Configuration Services Log 
When set, indicates that the PCS Status bit has asserted since the 

log bit was last cleared.
This log bit will remain set until cleared by software writing 0.

20

Reserved.

21

Autonomous Utilization-Based Frequency Control Log 
When set, indicates that the AUBFC Status bit has asserted since 

the log bit was last cleared.
This log bit will remain set until cleared by software writing 0.
