1、通过查看CPU的信息可以看到Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad / Xeon 51xx/53xx, Pentium Dual-Core T23xx+/Exxxx的硬件信息如下：

首先设置/etc/make.conf中CFLAGS

我的make.conf文件如下：

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=prescott -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
# WARNING: Changing your CHOST is not something that should be done lightly.
# Please consult http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/change-chost.xml before changing.
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
MAKEOPTS="-j3"
USE="gnome X dbus v4l -qt3 -qt4 gtk laptop samba -kde -arts consolekit policykit udev alsa cdr -cups -bluetooth"

GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirrors.163.com/gentoo"

SYNC="rsync://mirrors.163.com/gentoo-portage/"

LINGUAS="en_US en_GB uk zh_CN "

如果机器是64位的，则设置CFLAGS如下：

CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"

2、内核编译选项

如果你的处理器是双核的，那么激活这个选项:

Linux Kernel Configuration:

Processor type and features ---> [*] Symmetric multi-processing support (2) Maximum number of CPUs (2-256) [ ] SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support [*] Multi-core scheduler support

如果你的系统是32bit的，那么激活这个选项:

Linux Kernel Configuration:

Processor type and features ---> [*] Machine Check Exception < > Check for non-fatal errors on AMD Athlon/Duron / Intel Pentium 4

如果是64bit的，激活这个选项:

Linux Kernel Configuration:

Processor type and features ---> -- Machine check support [*] Intel MCE features Executable file formats / Emulations ---> [*] IA32 Emulation

3、自动降频

内核的配置

Linux Kernel Configuration:CPU frequency scaling

Power management options ---> ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support ---> [*] ACPI Support <*> Processor CPU Frequency scaling ---> [*] CPU Frequency scaling <*> CPU frequency translation statistics [*] CPU frequency translation statistics details

省电方式( Governor )
它们决定了你的CPU运行的频率。最常用到的可能是'按需分配(ondemand)'和'保守(conservative)'了。你可以按照你的需要来进行调整。

• Conservative 将CPU设置为最省电的状态,当CPU需要使用更多电力的时候一步步地提升CPU的频率.
• Ondemand 将CPU的频率设置为最低，当CPU在最低频率时如果使用率达到100%把CPU的频率提升到额定频率。
• Powersave将CPU的频率一直设置为最低。
• Performance 使CPU保持额定频率运行。
• Userspace 允许你手动设置CPU的频率。

你可以随时改变你的CPU的省电方式。

Linux Kernel Configuration:governor

Power management options ---> CPU Frequency scaling ---> # E.g. for ondemand <*> 'ondemand' cpufreq policy governor

自动降频的驱动
你需要启用系统的CPU频率调整驱动.intel Core Solo/Duo, Intel Core2 Solo/Duo 的驱动是ACPI Processor P-States driver 。它已经被包含到内核中了。编译时在下面这个位置启用。

Linux Kernel Configuration:CPU frequency scaling driver

Power management options ---> CPU Frequency scaling ---> # E.g. for Intel Core2 Duo <*> ACPI Processor P-States driver

软件
现在你需要安装一些软件来完成自动降频的工作.

emerge --ask --verbose cpufrequtils

下面这个命令可以查看具体有哪些哪些省电方式:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors

现在你知道你需要使用哪种省电方式了，编辑 /etc/conf.d/cpufrequtils 文件来设置你想要的方式。默认的是ondemand.

最后，启用CPU自动降频

/etc/init.d/cpufrequtils start

你启用了它之后它不会在每次启动后自动运行，所以你需要把它加入rc脚本中。

rc-update add cpufrequtils boot

4、微码（microcode）的设置

芯片内置的微代码，用于升级CPU中的微程序以修正处理器的BUG

首先添加内核的微码支持

然后添加软件的支持，并添加到开机启动服务自动运行。

sudo emerge emerge -av microcode-ctl
sudo /etc/init.d/microcode_ctl start
sudo rc-update add microcode_ctl default

启动后lsmod查看下有没有microcode模块

如果没有modprobe一下
