Cpu scaling governors on Thinkpad X220

2025-03-26

There are only two CPU scaling governors on my Thinkpad X220

Powersave, and Performance

Attempting to use any other in tlpui will not give the desired results

Check available govenors:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
