Pehaps it would not save energy for the CPU. But I assume the CPU does not heat that much when running with 500 MHZ or 1 GHZ instead of 2 GHZ. So, perhaps it does not save the CPU-power consumptions, but it saves the cooling devices + it saves on the long term the material. Saving the cooling devices on a Laptop means in most of the cases to avoid fan- activity ==> no power consumption on the fan => power saving.
I see it more or less the side-effect a reduced CPU-frequ has on the overall system. AND therefore I would like to have it enabled. -- Celeron M530, no frequence scaling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177646 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
