No. It's in 0.1uW scale, so 800Watts. Which is 16 CPUs * 64Watts

Oh! you want 0.1uW precision .... This doesn't seem realistic at all.
I'm not even sure that the power model can even reach an accuracy of
1mW


True, the EM is registering platform with 1mW precision, but 1uW

Do you mean 1uW or 0.1uW ?

In this patch set I've proposed 0.1uW, but I'm open to drop one
order of magnitude. The 1uW still be good.
