    One of the problems with Linux today on laptops is that the CPU will run in an unoptimized manner

    Is this actually still true? I thought automatic scaling happens mostly on firmware level these days.

      I think you're right, and they may be exaggerating a bit. From what I can tell, this would be almost act like a 4th setting between power-save and on-demand mode, so you still get most of the benefits of power-save mode, but without the need to switch back to on-demand when you do something intense.
