Intel Low Power Mode Daemon 0.0.9 Released For Linux Users
Intel engineers today released LPMD 0.0.9, the newest version of their open-source Low Power Mode Daemon for Linux systems to optimize active idle power consumption on Intel Core processors.
The Intel LPMD daemon is one of the ways that those with Core Ultra laptops and even Core desktops can optimize their power use with the ability depending upon system load to rely on E cores and dynamically disable the P cores, among other features for tuning the SoC power draw based on system utilization.
With today's Intel LPMD 0.0.9 release the highlights include:
Nice to see a dedicated Lunar Lake configuration file and the graphics utilization detection may be useful for further idle power tuning. Those building and running the Intel Low Power Mode Daemon from source can find LPMD v0.0.9 via GitHub.
