    The short answer is: It does.

    A governor guides the hardware regarding power consumption, but it is still dependent on workload and utilisation. Moreover, modern p-state drivers may use utilisation to control voltage and frequency scaling and there is also a scheduler driven governor in Linux (actually it’s the most recent one iirc).
