  • Auto-cpufreq only changes the CPU governor based on your preference for load and power source. In my experience you need to disable the intel_pstate driver to see real gains in the powersave/conservative governors. That’s true for all three options.

    Tlp can also manage power to radios, ports, devices. Gains are small over auto-cpufreq, and it can be a bit finicky not to lose some part you actually wanted to keep powered on.

    I’m not very familiar with power-profiles-daemon, but I think it sets governor and rules for screen/sleep timeout. You’ll probably see better gains without intel_pstate there, too.






  • I would assume any project that has more than a handful of contributors to have AI-assisted code in it.

    I’m probably living in my little start-up bubble, so my view is probably skewed. The majority of commits I see have not had any code written by humans. Planned, specified and reviewed by senior developers with fancy degrees and a decade of experience in average, though.

    Things move fast, but I’m sure a lot of older and bigger organisations are taking it slower because of the legal unknown.
