DESCRIPTION="Linux DPTF Extract Utility for Linux Thermal Daemon (thermald)" HOMEPAGE="https://github.com/intel/dptfxtract" dptfxtract is a binary-only program that reads Intel® DPTF (Intel® Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework) information from ACPI tables and provides them to the Linux Thermal Daemon (thermald). Without this information, thermald will operate with limits that can reduce the performance of the system [1,2].

I have tried this toll on several Gentoo systems, including two Intel NUCs, whereof one is from 2019, but have never seen anything else than: "DPTF Tables Extraction Utility Copyright (c) 2000 - 2020 Intel Corporation No valid tables found"
I've just tried it on my new Thinkpad and it created a /etc/thermald/thermal-conf.xml.auto file for me.
