It seems mixed results. The throughput is 2.4% better in sequential
write test, while the power consumption (turbostat.Pkg_W) increases
by 3.1% in the nepim/300s-100%-tcp test.

Right.

Sorry "cpuidle" is the monitor name. You can find its code here:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/wfg/lkp-tests.git/tree/monitors/cpuidle

"cpuidle.C1-SNB.time" means the time spend in C1 state.

Again, "turbostat" is a monitor name. "turbostat.Pkg_W" means the
CPU package watts reported by the turbostat tool.

In normal LKP reports, only changed stats are listed. Here is the
performance/power index comparison, which lists all performance/power
related stats. The index is geometric average of all results. Baseline
is 100 for 743cb1ff191f00f.

   100      perf-index (the larger, the better)
    98     power-index (the larger, the better)

The nepim throughput numbers are not stable enough comparing to the
change, so are not regarded as real changes in the original email.
I will need to increase its test time to make it more stable..
