Using kernel 4.8-rc5 I did some energy tests, using a SpecPower simulator that 
I made one time. I reused intel_pstate powersave data from a previous test. 
Reference:

Big numbers are Joules (package Joules from turbostat)
Smaller numbers are watts, 1500 Seconds test run time.

X ~= 18.2% on a real SpecPower.

Load:           idle    0.5X    X       2X      3X      4X      5X      100%

Note: A real SpecPower test-bed tends to get less dramatic results than
my simulator.
