Intel® Power Gadget 3.5 consists of the following components. Latest release also includes support for Windows 10*. The API layer is a set of libraries and dlls that can be called and offers the flexibility to build the tool within code sections of an application. The multi-socket support essentially evaluates the Energy MSR on a per-socket basis and provides an estimate of power draw per socket. In version 3.0 there are additional features that include estimation of power on multi-socket systems as well as externally callable APIs to extract power information within sections of code. The motivation for the tool was to assist end-users, ISV’s, OEM’s, developers, and others interested in a more precise estimation of power from a software level without any H/W instrumentation. Traditional methods to estimate power/energy usage of the processor has always been a cumbersome task that included special purpose tools or instrumentation on the platform along with third party equipment. Starting with version 3.5 and going forward, only the 64-bit version and Windows 8* will be supported.

Windows 7* and 32-bit versions of the Intel® Power Gadget for Windows* has ceased development from 3.0.7. With this release, we are providing functionality to evaluate power information on various platforms including notebooks, desktops and servers. It is supported on Windows* and macOS* and includes an application, driver, and libraries to monitor and estimate real-time processor package power information in watts using the energy counters in the processor. Intel® Atom™ processors are not supported. Intel® Power Gadget is a software-based power usage monitoring tool enabled for Intel® Core™ processors (from 2nd Generation up to 10th Generation Intel® Core™ processors).
