Here is an interesting article about PowerTop:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=3Darticle&item=3Dubuntu_1404_powertop=
&num=3D1

The conclusion page 4:
=C2=93while running these various benchmarks and its many periods of idling,
there's still a clear win for PowerTOP=C2=94
=C2=93the average power consumption dropped from 25.6 Watts to 22.9 Watts [=
=C2=85]
The peak power [=C2=85] from 34.6 Watts to 32.0 Watts. [=C2=85] when the sy=
stem was
idling went from 12 Watts to 10 Watts. These power-savings happened
without regressing the Linux system performance at all.=C2=94

Thank you,
Alexandra.
