IntelPowerGadget
Intel Power Gadget is a system framework and performance monitoring tool distributed by Intel. It provides real-time insights into CPU frequency, temperature, power consumption and energy usage on Intel-based Macs. The framework is typically bundled with or required by Intel's performance analysis and tuning applications, allowing developers and power users to monitor and optimize system performance metrics.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionIntel Power Gadget is a framework component distributed by Intel, not a standalone application, so it cannot be updated independently through the App Store or a generic download. This framework was designed specifically for Intel processors and will not function on Apple Silicon Macs running native applications. If you have an Intel Mac and are using an application that depends on this Intel framework, contact the vendor of that application to ask about their Apple Silicon migration plans. Intel has not released a native Apple Silicon equivalent of this framework, and Intel-based tools in general do not run under Rosetta 2. As Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), any Intel-dependent software relying on this framework will stop working at that time. Consider transitioning to Apple Silicon-native performance monitoring tools appropriate to your workflow, or contact Intel support for clarification on whether your specific use case has an alternative.
