Auto-cpufreq 3.0 Released With CPU Turbo Controls
Quoting: Auto-cpufreq 3.0 Released With CPU Turbo Controls —
Nine months after the previous 2.6 release, Auto-cpufreq, a free and open-source automatic CPU speed & power optimizer for Linux, has launched its latest version, 3.0.
If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a great piece of software that dynamically adjusts the CPU governor and frequency settings to balance power consumption, performance, and thermal management based on the system’s current workload and power state.
The most notable change in the new release is the ability to override the CPU turbo setting directly from both the command-line and graphical interfaces. This gives users explicit control over turbo boost behavior, rather than relying entirely on automatic heuristics.

auto-cpufreq 3.0 Arrives for Linux with Better Battery Handling and CPU Turbo Control
Us Linux users have access to a large selection of system monitoring tools that help us know the state of our computers. In some cases, these even let us tweak certain parameters of the hardware to eke out better performance or battery life.
While these utilities may not yet match the polish and maturity of their Windows counterparts, they have made significant progress in recent years.
auto-cpufreq is one such tool that automatically optimizes CPU speed and power consumption on Linux systems to save battery life, and it just received a feature-packed 3.0 release.
