i. Determine the ratio of Tsample to Tref by executing CPUID Fn8000_0007.
N = value of CPUID Fn8000_0007_ECX[CpuPwrSampleTimeRatio[15:0]].
ii. Read the full range of the cumulative energy value from the new

Jmax = value returned.
iii. At time x, SW reads CpuSwPwrAcc MSR and samples the PTSC.
Jx = value read from CpuSwPwrAcc and Tx = value read from

The power1_average_interval can be updated at /etc/sensors3.conf file
as below:
chip "fam15h_power-*"
chip `fam15h_power-*`
set power1_average_interval 0.01
Then save it with "sensors -s".
