using powertop: 1.13

< Detailed C-state information is not P-states (frequencies)
3.21 Ghz 6.0%
2.40 Ghz 0.0%
1.60 Ghz 0.1%
800 Mhz 93.9%


Wakeups-from-idle per second : 441.8 interval: 10.0s
no ACPI power usage estimate available

Top causes for wakeups:
84.3% (2132.0) [extra timer interrupt]
8.1% (205.4) qemu-system-x86
2.4% ( 61.0) [eth1] <interrupt>
1.2% ( 31.1) [eth0] <interrupt>
1.2% ( 29.3) java
1.0% ( 26.3) [ahci] <interrupt>
0.5% ( 13.0) [sky2@pci:0000:05:00.0] <interrupt>
0.5% ( 12.0) kworker/u:2
...

Has any output been changed, is this just a missenterpetation done by powertop?

CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor
