I just checked out 2 Ivybridge ultrabooks yesterday and neither had a configurable option buried anywhere in the advanced power profile settings…. ; (

I’d like to know what kind of battery life loss I can expect with 12.04 when compared to Windows 7. Hopefully, there are some power saving enhancements in the new LTS beyond just the new kernel so I don’t have to spend time installing 3rd party power management scripts.

I’m still using Ubuntu 10.04 and would like to see how 12.04 fares without any kind of tweaks. Thanks.

Turbo Boost is only the function that overclocks past the standard clock speed, all Core CPUs can enter Energy Saver though.

From what I heard, 3.6 is supposed to bring even more significant optimizations that almost brings parity to Window$!

Now I’m just waiting for the article on Ivybridge’s 13 Watt TDP mode and associated testing… ; )
