853853## Appendix: CPPC vs HWP Performance Levels
854854
855- This appendix provides detailed data comparing Intel HWP and ACPI CPPC performance levels on
856- several hybrid Intel client platforms.
855+ This appendix compares Intel HWP and ACPI CPPC performance levels across several hybrid Intel
856+ client platforms.

858- ** Note** : When ACPI CPPC provides both Nominal and Guaranteed performance levels, they are shown as
859- "Nominal / Guaranteed" in the tables below.
858+ ** Table Format Notes** :
859+
860+ - CPPC columns show "Nominal / Guaranteed" (e.g., "26 / 27" or "15" when both values are the same).
861+ - HWP columns show only the Guaranteed performance level.
862+ - All values are unitless performance levels.
