Hi,
Of the several projects hosted on http://www.lesswatts.org/ (PowerTOP,
Tickless Idle, Processor Power Management, Battery Life Toolkit, Power
Policy Manager, Power QoS, Display and Graphics Power Savings, Device
and Bus Power Management, ACPICA) how many are currently packages for
Fedora? What are they called? How are they identified? Do they belong in
any particular software group? Some are kernel patches so are they in
any existing Fedora kernel?

There is a push to try and improve the power management with Fedora.
Here is a link to the archives of this list of a post by Bill Nottingham
regarding PowerTop and a request for users to help pinpoint problematic
apps...

It's an interesting initiative, but is it helping the AMD64 people? I
expect some measures help, regardless of architecture, but definitely
not all, and powertop seems overly dedicated to intel hardware!
Is there any similar tools for AMD64 architectures?

The move by Intel to launch lesswatts.org is not philantrophic, they want
to gain a competitive advantage over AMD (and other competitors such as
VIA chipsets) on Linux systems by doing this.
AMD (and others) have to answer to it of course.

I'd be willing to bet that patches submitted to powertop to better
support AMD64 (if any are even needed), would be happily accepted by the
project.

Shouldn't it be fewerwatts? There's room for AMD to launch a competing
initiative.

Lets hope AMD know the difference between less and fewer
