+# cpufreq
+
+The `sysfs` interface to cpu frequency settings and current state.
+```
+/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/
+```
+
+## cpupower(1)
+
+A CLI interface to peek and poke the cpu frequency settings.
+
+```
+# Show current frequency of all cores.
+cpupower -c all frequency-info -f -m
+
+# Show currently set frequency governor.
+cpupower -c all frequency-info -p
+
+# List available frequency governors.
+cpupower -c all frequency-info -g
+
+# Change frequency governor to POWERSAVE (eg).
+cpupower -c all frequency-set -g powersave
+```
+
+## Example
+
+Watch cpu frequency.
+```sh
+watch -n1 "cpupower -c all frequency-info -f -m | xargs -n2 -d'\n'"
+```
