Auto-CPUFreq 3.0 released this weekend as the newest version of this Linux user-space tool to help you extend your laptop battery life by automatically applying CPU speed and power optimizations. When all goes according to plan, Auto-CPUFreq means extending your battery life without compromises to the user experience.
One of the new features of Auto-CPUFreq 3.0 include the ability to override the CPU turbo setting (where available) via the program’s command line interface or GUI. For those using the auto-cpufreq CLI, the new –turbo flag allows overriding the CPU turbo mode for this additional knob for either extending your battery life or still wanting to reach your CPU’s peak clock speeds.
Auto-CPUFreq 3.0 also allows users to specify the battery device in the program’s configuration file. The new update also includes numerous fixes from rectifying the window icon under Wayland to ASUS laptop battery charge threshold support.
