Yeah, but those lines don't look good - powersaving needs more energy
than performance.

And what is even crazier is that fixed 1.2 GHz case. I'd guess in
the normal case those cores are at triple the freq. - i.e. somewhere
around 3-4 GHz. And yet, 1.2 GHz eats almost *double* the power than
performance and powersaving.

So for the x=8 and maybe even the x=16 case we're basically better off
with performance.

Or could it be that the power measurements are not really that accurate
and those numbers above are not really correct?

Hmm.
