Gnome-Shell Extension for intel-pstate driver.
The easiest way to install this extension is by using the Gnome extensions website.

You need to have an Intel Core i CPU of at least the second Generation (2xxx Model Number) and the following software installed to use this extension:
- Gnome (since it's an extension)
- Policykit (ships default with gnome)
- intel_pstate needs to be enabled in the kernel (should be the default in almost all Distros)
