***** NOTES *****

Any item with the word cycle in it refers to how many sampling_rate's have occurred.

Examples:

A "boost_hold_cycles" of 22 and a sampling_rate of 45000 equates to 1 seconds of holding your Mhz at the boost level.

A block_cycles_offline_screen_on of 11 and a sampling_rate of 45000 equates to a half of a second block before it takes cores offline.
