I recently found an old system that had no cpufreq capability other than p4-clockmod. When on the performance governor it runs at its full 3 GHz. When on powersave, it drops to 375kHz. While this makes a big difference under load, when the system is idle I can not measure any power or thermal savings.
In other words, p4-clockmod seems to be useless since lowering the cpu frequency without lowering its voltage does not save any more power than simply being idle and in the HLT state. Do you experience different results? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
