Hmm; I've not tweaked that one -- I'm using: options i915 semaphores=1 i915_enable_rc6=7 i915_enable_fbc=1 lvds_downclock=1 And things are fine graphics wise -- I'm going to give it a proper run in tomorrow @work and we'll see how it goes.. Played a 1080p film on it earlier with mpv and it ate about 20% -- had brightness at about medium.. Not sure if that's good or not.. 4W seems a bit optimistic though doesn't it? I've tweaked things quite a bit, but maybe I'm missing some extra magic or I just don't know the machine enough to know what the baseline is... I've got skype, spotify, maybe 20 firefox tabs, dozen terms or so, dwm, wpa_sup wifi, and some other stuff, and i'm currently at: System baseline power is estimated at 11.8 W Freq Throttling (this isn't controlable, seemingly, and handled by the intel_pstate driver) currently has me on: current CPU frequency: 526 MHz (asserted by call to hardware) Don't really have a baseline yet -- I can drop a reply in here tomorrow if you're interested in how it holds up with some real use?
