Well, i915 is certainly a completely different story than nouveau. Otherwise I would not be so optimistic. From the anecdotal evidence of listening to less than a handful of Intel colleagues I happen to have my hopes are not that high. According to them Intel is a horrible organization where high walls and secrecy making is more common than helping another part of the organization.
- danuker 6y agoBelieve it or not, reducing your temperatures by 10 degrees Celsius would increase the life of your CPU by roughly [79%](https://danuker.go.ro/caring-for-your-hardware.html https://danuker.go.ro/caring-for-your-hardware.html). Perhaps this digs into sales of new chips, which is why it's so hard to do. I made a different sacrifice - that of frequency. I vastly reduce temperature cycling by [disabling TurboBoost](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CPU_frequency_scaling#Disabling_Turbo_Boost https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CPU_frequency_scaling#D...) and the absolute temperature by using the "powersave" governor.
