With its latest Insider Preview build of Windows 10 (Build 16176), Microsoft has introduced a feature known as "Power Throttling," which is essentially per-process power management leveraging the Intel Speed Shift technology available in 6th-gen and newer Intel processors. According to Microsoft, although Power Throttling currently requires Intel's "Speed Shift" tech, it will be expanded to earlier generation Intel processors that lack the feature in coming months.
As of now, the tech is essentially automatic (though you can control its overall aggressiveness with a slider) and works by placing background low-workload processes into the CPUs lower power states so that as Microsoft puts it "work gets done, but the minimal possible battery is spent on that work." Microsoft claims up to an 11% savings on CPU power consumption using this technology alone.
If this sounds interesting to you, it's as easy as opting into the Windows Insider Program, or downloading the latest Preview Build from the fast ring to try out this new feature.
