Linux 7.0 introduces power management and thermal control improvements, including support for Intel Panther Lake's "slow" workload hints that analyze long-term workload patterns to optimize for power or performance. The update also adds support for Wildcat Lake and Nova Lake processors, includes ACPI 6.6 updates, fixes ARM CPUFreq drivers, and adds Intel Idle driver C-states customization. The new slow workload hints help applications respond to sustained power versus performance trends rather than short-term fluctuations.
