Why would I want this? With a properly configured kernel, Intel chips can downclock to somewhere in the 400-800mhz range when idle.

In the interest of simplified manufacturing and support, they leave some power consumption on the table.

You can take that back and get a little more juice, at the risk of instability or time.
