Description

Power measurement is available on modern AMD systems via the fam15h_power sensor in 'lm_sensors'.
Documentation is available here: fam15h_power
An AMD system is needed to implement and test the feature.

Research direction
Investigate the existing sensor reading implementation in the s tui codebase, likely in modules handling CPU stats. Refer to the linked kernel documentation for the fam15h power sensor interface. Since an AMD system is required for testing, consider reaching out to maintainers for assistance or testing on available hardware. The issue comments may contain additional insights.
