One of the most typical use cases of the 'cpupower' utility works as
follows: run 'cpupower' at boot with the desired command-line options
and then forget about it.
Add a systemd service (disabled by default) that automates this use
case (for environments where the initialization system is 'systemd'),
by running 'cpupower' at boot with the settings read from a default
configuration file.
The systemd service, the associated support script and the
corresponding default configuration file are derived from what is
provided by the Arch Linux package (under "GPL-2.0-or-later" terms),
modernized and enhanced in various ways (the script has also been
checked with 'shellcheck').

CPU power consumption vs performance tuning is no longer
limited to CPU frequency switching anymore: deep sleep states,
traditional dynamic frequency scaling and hidden turbo/boost
frequencies are tied close together and depend on each other.
The first two exist on different architectures like PPC, Itanium and
ARM, the latter (so far) only on X86. On X86 the APU (CPU+GPU) will
only run most efficiently if CPU and GPU has proper power management
in place.
Users and Developers want to have *one* tool to get an overview what
their system supports and to monitor and debug CPU power management
in detail. The tool should compile and work on as many architectures
as possible.
Once this tool stabilizes a bit, it is intended to replace the
Intel-specific tools in tools/power/x86
