cpufreq throttling driver

Hi,

I have a desktop cpu supporting only throttling (no C-state and no P-state (acpi-cpufreq refuse to load)).

Does it make sense to use throttling to save some power ?

If yes why aren't there a cpufreq driver for managing throttling ? That way governor could be used with throttling.

Does it make sense ?

Thanks

Not really. You can save a little power but you will lose a lot of performance, making your system less energy-efficient.

It's called p4-clockmod. Don't use it. If you want to save power, get a new CPU.
