The step size of 1/8 degree C/K is documented in the public BKDG (prior to
17h) and PPR (17h+) documents available on AMD=E2=80=99s website, at least =
for
relatively recent models. I don=E2=80=99t know about very old models (reall=
y
anything older than 17h, although I=E2=80=99ve looked at the 15h docs some)=
.

Best,
Conrad
