Published utility release auto-cpufreq 2.2.0, designed to automatically optimize CPU speed and power consumption in the system. The utility monitors the state of the laptop battery, CPU load, CPU temperature and system activity, and depending on the situation and selected options, dynamically activates energy saving or high performance modes. Supports work on devices with Intel, AMD and ARM processors. A GTK-based graphical interface or a console utility can be used for control. The code is written in Python and distributed by licensed under LGPLv3.
Supported features include: monitoring the frequency, load and temperature of the CPU, adjusting the frequency and power consumption modes of the CPU depending on the battery charge, temperature and load on the system, automatically optimizing CPU performance and power consumption.

Auto-cpufreq can be used to automatically extend the battery life of laptops without permanently cutting down any features. Unlike the utility TLPauto-cpufreq not only allows you to set energy-saving modes when the device is running autonomously, but also temporarily enable high performance mode (turbo boost) when an increase in system load is detected.
The new version adds support settings and redefining EPP (Energy Performance Preference) parameters, as well as setting restrictionsrelated to battery charge (for example, to extend battery life, you can configure charging to turn off after reaching 90%). Added the ability to create packages in snap format for AMD64 and ARM64 architectures.
