Re: Question about : cpu's frequency
I have not explain correctly my thought. On android the "max" fréquency is always same, effectively the cpu's frequency is not always at the max but same with screen off she can be up to the max.
On my settings i have lock the max frequency when the screen is off to 300mhz to limit battery usage, i have good score with this settings (up to 4 days on battery, with web, ebooks etc...).
I was wondering if ubuntu handle the processor as that.
Hoping to have cleared up a bit my questions.
Regards
