Kernel Config (Archlinux)

Intel Pentium G3220 is not reaching package idle states above PC3.

CPU is in C6 for over 99% (no C7 on pentium). Package idle states start with 97% in PC2. After five minute idle they drop to 97% PC3. But they never enter PC6.

Kernel (archlinux),
Linux eagle 3.13.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 7 22:47:48 CET 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

config is attached. I tried 3.14-rc6 with similiar results.

turbostat output is below.

[Bug 72211] intel_pstate Haswell CPU is not entering hardware package idle state

--- Comment #2 from [email protected] ---
the onboard network device (realtek r8168) was the issue. I replaced the vanilla kernel module (r8169) with realteks r8168. Once the monitor is switched off via dpms i reach 97% package c state pc6.

I assume the r8169 does not support aspm.

Should this bug be closed or moved to drivers?
