 - estd will for Intel CPUs only and will never work on AMD.
 
 The above is mis-information.
 
 From my toshiba laptop:
 
        hw.machine = amd64
        hw.model = AMD 686-class
        [...]
        machdep.powernow.frequency.target = 800
        machdep.powernow.frequency.current = 800
        machdep.powernow.frequency.available = 800 1600 1800 1900
 
 
        tinker-> sudo /etc/rc.pkg.d/estd status
        estd is running as pid 650.
 
 
 estd has long supported both Intel and AMD CPUs.
