Could someone check with "i915.i915_enable_rc6=1" in /etc/default/grub? This option lowers power consumption by 4watts on my Tp X1 but I did not check against Unity 2D.

Nevertheless, the option might result in screen glitches (see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_i915_power&num=1).
