Lately the topic objective vs. subjective and micro-benchmarks became rather muddy territory and it seems like you are trying to push me out there. What I can tell you is what I did to reach the conclusion based on MY typical usage pattern.
I recorded the KWh over a period 3 hours from the outlet and made sure I did the same kind of conservative work (NetBeans, Chrome + a few other things). The meter is standards approved and rated at 1% accuracy, or +/- 0.75W considering the system draws around 75W. There was no real difference to observe, the two numbers came very close to one another. That setup is good enough for me to assert that it does nothing for me. If you have another demand/usage that differs from mine you might come to another conclusion, however considering my CPU already runs at the lowest possible stepping, in hindsight I am not sure which other conclusion I might actually get to. It's not like applications can just magically underclock or undervoltate the hardware. Can you objectively theorize how Granula would work to achieve it's goal better than a kernel level ondemand driver? /Casper On Aug 4, 2:34 pm, Jan Goyvaerts <[email protected]> wrote: > So you can objectively measure whether granula make it consume less/more > power ? > > > > On Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 14:22, Casper Bang <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Fortunately my Ubuntu incl login is up in about a minute - so no more > > > real need to have it running when not in use. > > > Oh you should see Ubuntu on an Intel SSD then, boots in just a few > > secs after initial power-on and self-test.
