Re: >10W idle power usage on framework laptop 12th gen 13inch


Well, I haven't tried it but I've read documentation [1] and it seems a bit
differently, isn't it?
Um, obsdfreqd sets a cpu frequency "percentage" which I thought might just be setperf. One difference is it sets a range based on a usage algorithm while solene's patch seems to setperf 100 or zero based on <1/3 idle with a 2 cycle (400ms) backoff.

My serperf seems to be at a consistent zero in my idle tests which makes me think the patch may not help my idle tests much, but may help actual usage.

On idle this laptop has on 400 MHz, and provided patch decrease
responsibility of system when it runs on battery, but allows to win some
time on it. Like additionall half an hour or a bit more.

Frankly speaking I never care about watt consumption, but offline time which
is depend on it is important in my case, so here the recovered patch.

Ok
