Which is more effective, TLP or CPUfreq?
Which is more effective? TLP or CPUfreq? Do both have exactly the same function? What would possibly happen if I installed both? Would it cause conflict that could significantly reduce the laptop performance? Cheers.
CPUfreq is a tool to control frequency scaling and may be used to limit power dissipation.
TLP is a complete power saving tool that covers frequency scaling settings too, so no need to use CPUfreq when TLP is installed.
Both tools do not conflict as long as you do not use frequency scaling settings in TLP.
