Auto-CPUFreq 3.2 Adds Configurable HWP Dynamic Boost, Platform Profile Reporting Written by Michael Larabel in Free Software on 5 October 2026 at 11:36 AM EDT. Add A Comment The open-source Auto-CPUFreq tool for active system monitoring and power optimizations is out with a new release for continuing to enhance battery life on Linux laptops. Auto-CPUFreq 3.2 adds configurable Intel Hardware P-States (HWP) dynamic boost support. Intel HWP Dynamic Boost is also now enabled by default when running on AC power rather than battery. Auto-CPUFreq 3.2 also introduces ACPI Platform Profile reporting that is more robust than the prior basic reporting offered by Auto-CPUFreq in prior versions: Auto-CPUFreq 3.2 also unifies system reporting and the GTK runtime state for ensuring a consistent view.
