Here is an interesting article about PowerTop:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1404_powertop&num=1

The conclusion page 4:
while running these various benchmarks and its many periods of idling,
there's still a clear win for PowerTOP
the average power consumption dropped from 25.6 Watts to 22.9 Watts []
The peak power [] from 34.6 Watts to 32.0 Watts. [] when the system was
idling went from 12 Watts to 10 Watts. These power-savings happened
without regressing the Linux system performance at all.

Thank you,
Alexandra.
