Linux 4.1 Power Consumption Appears To Improve For Intel Users

Linux 4.1 Power Consumption Appears To Improve For Intel Users: A Red Hat developer mentioned to us at Phoronix that they're seeing "drastically improved battery life" in some cases with the Linux 4.1 kernel to the extent that it's up to 2~4 hours of extra battery life with the kernel upgrade to Git. I've since started some fresh Linux laptop battery tests.
