In other words, P-state P0. While this may sound wasteful at first, it is important to remember that power utilization does not increase significantly simply because of a locked clock frequency without a workload.&lt;p&gt;from:

While its nice to have a 15% faster OS, I would also like to know how the battery life differs between various distros (and Windows).</text></comment>
