On the other hand, boards that have their CPU regulator set to min. 1.0V might also draw more power because the lowest frequency is not available, even though the savings due to frequency are likely to be lower than the savings due to voltage. However, Stefan Monnier (added to CC) mentioned in an earlier discussion that the savings for the lowest opp are rather small and thus the benefit of the 144MHz opp would be questionable. Unfortunately, I don't have measurement equipment precise enough to test this myself and haven't found a way to read power consumption internally via the PMU in mainline yet.
