If I install 5.x instead does it provide similar support?

throttling was a key factor in its choice.
I intend to install as i386 initially. Do I need to load any specific
drivers in order to enable AMD's on-chip power management? Can someone
tell me what is built into the kernel and/or what needs to be added? I
believe that ACPI is part of the kernel? Does it just auto-detect and
provide a "ready to run - right out of the box"? Is it worth waiting a
couple of weeks for 6.1 to be released or are these features solid
already in an updated 6.0?
"device cpufreq" in kernel and powerd_enable="YES" in rc.conf
It's worth using 6.1 on general grounds, but this support has been in
6.x for some time.
