| 5 | help |
| 6 | CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of |
| 7 | CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because |
| 8 | the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU |
| 11 | clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor |
| 12 | (see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq>. |
