My point is that the power states are not completely software controlled

My Powernow equiped laptop lets me put the processor in a low power state. I can't select an intermediate state though. I can select low power (lowest voltage/frequency), auto (automatic voltage/frequency), or performance (highest voltage/frequency).

What is preventing AMD from implementing a way to select intermediate states for their processors? Why is that not possible? Certainly the processor is spec-ed to run at these intermediate states because it often hits them in auto mode.

What am I missing?
