Apple Pro/Max CPU power now covers the whole CPU, not just the P-cores.

Changed

  • power.cpu on Apple Pro/Max is the full CPU complex. The SMC CPU sum was PC02+PC42 (the two P-clusters only), which undercounted by missing the E-cores. It now also includes the E-core / cluster rails that scale with CPU load (PC03+PC43) — verified by sweeping the SMC keys under a full 16-core load on an M3 Max (memory PC32 and GPU PC1x/PC2x keys stay excluded). power.cpu reads ~18–20 W under load, labelled CPU complex (SMC).
