Relative power consumption under full CPU load.

For EIST and probably PowerNow! frequencies it is relative power levels. 
But for frequencies created by throttling they are incorrect. If you 
disable throttling, you should see only "real" value.

Generally kern.hz, but for freqs below 1000Hz they are equal.
