Yes, you have a point there about injecting idle time to the CPU to cool down the GPU. The thing is that modern GPU's (and CPU's) already have thermal protection so I don't need intel_powerclamp to protect anything. Now, if I was interested in keeping the power usage down then powerclamp would be a good thing but when I am plaing a game I couldnt care less.
Perhaps there should be a way to disable powerclamp from userspace in a better way than rmmod.
