Trying out a lower time frequency and check if it has any influence at all after a short discussion in IRC about it. To me it looks as there is no real impact on my hardware with this After a debate in IRC and some reading it looks to me as there is no general rule but many people with opinions. Therefore I don’t expect a difference in overall power consumption or responsiveness, but will just try it out. I set up a quick and dirty battery test: - display brightness at 35 % - wifi on - bluetooth off - some default background deamons running (cron, chrony/NTP, syncthing) - one termina (konsole) open - that energy monitor from KDE open - CPU boost disabled with 'echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost' - verified that temperatures are low enough that the fan is off Both setups (5.14.11-T14s with CONFIG_HZ_1000=y vs. 5.14.12-T14s with CONFIG_HZ_100=y) showed values around 5.6 W, down to 5.2 W, up to > 30W as I called emerge to check if it's not just a display glitch. As this is a Notebook I don't have to care at all about some video cards and TV frequencies that are mentioned in various threads. To end this commit message I’d like to share a quote that amused me during my mini-research: „864Hz is indeed the win - I won't use a kernel wihout that option anymore.” - User “creidiki”, forums.gentoo.org |
