cpupower is a command-line tool for examining and tuning CPU frequency scaling and power management features.

Before Core Update 197, cpupower was a script packaged in the cpufrequtils add-on. The cpufrequtils add-on is deprecated and will be removed in a future Core Update.

Installation

No installation is needed. cpupower is part of the core package.
The governor defaults to "schedutil" when available; otherwise, it defaults to "powersave".

Usage

The /etc/sysconfig/cpupower file can be edited to hard-code a custom governor.
Example:
    GOVERNOR="performance"
