(synopsis "Read and write Model-Specific Registers (@dfn{MSR})")
(description
"The MSR Tools project provides console utilities to directly access the
Model-Specific Registers (@dfn{MSR}s) and CPU ID of Intel-compatible processors:
@itemize
@item @command{cpuid}: show identification and feature information of any CPU
@item @command{rdmsr}: read MSRs from any CPU or all CPUs
@item @command{wrmsr}: write to MSRs on any CPU or all CPUs
@end itemize
These tools can be used to query and modify certain low-level CPU parameters,
such as the Turbo Boost ratio and Thermal Design Power (@dfn{TDP}) limits.
MSR addresses differ (greatly) between processors, and any such modification can
be dangerous and may void your CPU or system board's warranty.")
