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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research how to read power consumption from AMD systems via the fam15h power sensor using Python. This typically involves reading values from sysfs files (e.g., /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon*/power*). Look into the lm sensors documentation and existing Python bindings like 'py sensors' or direct file I/O. Implement the feature by adding a new power reading module and testing on an AMD system.
