|  | 5 | help | 
|  | 6 | CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of | 
|  | 7 | CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because | 
|  | 8 | the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes. | 
|  | 9 |  | 
|  | 10 | Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU | 
|  | 11 | clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor | 
|  | 12 | (see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool. | 
|  | 13 |  | 
|  | 14 | For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq>. |
