Dynamic Boost doesn't work on AMD CPUs
NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules Version
7c345b838b8a63126ed425781400c1ae8a7a4a1d
Does this happen with the proprietary driver (of the same version) as well?
Yes
Operating System and Version
Fedora 37 Workstation
Kernel Release
6.0.2-300.fc37.x86_64
Hardware: GPU
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU
Describe the bug
nvidia-powerd was added to the linux driver to enable dynamic boost but currently its completely broken on all AMD-NVIDIA based laptops because powerd service is unable to read the cpu powerdata. I have attched the output of service log below.
