paulicat Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) Everyone who's been waiting for a speedstep kernel, your wait is over. I've implemented full speedstep support into semthexs source tree (can be applied to any of the 4.8 kernel source trees). Come to the #kernel channel for more information. P.S. sorry about the stupid title, cant edit the title after post... Paulicat After some early reports, this is Intel only so far...No AMD support at all! Furthermore, early reports are pointing to wake from sleep working now. Edited February 17, 2007 by paulicat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikedude880 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Congrats. Many laptop users will be glad to hear that their CPU can now be throttled and power be saved [07:03:47]<Paulicat> yes fully automatic, and working under 1ghz, down to 800mhz on my core solo.
