[Q] Switching between CPU modes

[Owendavies]

Hi guys,

I may be being completely dense but on the TF700 you could switch between power saver, balanced and performance modes.

Can this be done on the TF701? I'm on 4.3 and can't find it anywhere!

Owen.

Pull down the menu from the top and choose intelligent saving. Or open the app called energy-saving and choose there what you want to choose.

That is not what he is asking. He knows that already.
He means to switch between different CPU frequencies as on the TF700 is possible.

I don't know if this is also done with the energy savings settings.
Maybe after Sbdags started to build a custom Rom he can find out if it can be done.

I can see already by playing around with the ROM files that Asus haven't set it up the same way - in fact I'm yet to see any indication of how they do it, if they even do.

I could be wrong but I read somewhere, that when your do low level tasks, like watching video, it goes to single core.

Well that is nothing new. The TF700 with Tegra 3 did that already and Tegra 4 does the same.
I guess maybe they don't lower the clock frequency just limit Wifi, brightness etc. on the TF701.

Yeah that was my wondering, a bit more 'intelligent'. Certainly can't find anything obvious in any menus or pull downs.

Checked with SystemTuner the max CPU freq when energy saving off and on.
Off: 1.91 Ghz
On: 1.7 Ghz.
So they still use it, but only 2 frequencies.

Ok good to know how it's varied, thanks!

So for normal use you can let energy saving enabled unless you want to play 3d games.
When browsing I don't see any difference in speed, also not with other applications.
But for sure running an Antutu test is will score lower.
