I have been trying to get full SpeedStep and Turbo on my Intel Core i5 430M in OS X Lion 10.7.4 I have patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement and removed NullCPUPowerManagement. I also dumped my SSDT tables and they are in /Extra. I have Generate CStates and PStates set to True in org.chameleon.Boot.plist. I am also running the lapic patched kernel to enable all four threads. MSRDumper.kext reports that 0 P states have been reached, but the HackInstaller script by digitaldreamer shows the P States 16-38. Another question, what exactly are P and C states? Sorry if this sounds a bit nooby.

Do you have it working in Lion and trying to in ML, or just trying in Lion? Simplified explanation= P states are performance states aka. speedstep. Lowers the CPU frequency while idle and increases closer to or all the way to full rated speed when there is a demand on the CPU. C states, rather than just change active cpu frequency, will shut down various parts of the cpu while idle, with the tradeoff being some latency to get things going again when needed, but all fast enough to where you won't notice. C states are noting new and have been around since before pentium 1.

When using the

MSRDumper.kext, did you put your system under load?

In order for the kext to report all states, you'll need to stress your CPU so that it will actually run in those performance states.

Hope that helps.
