I recently bought a Citrix SD-WAN 1100 with an Atom C3758 CPU.
It consumes 25W on idle load, which is a bit higher than I would like, and that's after running powertop autotune.
All the powersaving guides and threads I see point to modifying the CPU governor and configuring it for powersave or conservative. The problem is my hardware doesn't seem to have options like this.
In fact, it doesn't seem to have many CPU monitoring functions at all. Even when accessing the BIOS over serial, I can't find any options for enabling CPU power options.
Is there anything left I can do to try and reduce power consumption?
