## What is Watt

Superfreq is a modern CPU frequency and power management utility for Linux
systems. It provides intelligent control of CPU governors, frequencies, and

It is greatly inspired by auto-cpufreq, but rewritten from ground up to provide
a smoother experience with a more efficient and more correct codebase. Some
