If you don't see sensors on another m ### How to show the CPU frequency? The CPU frequency is available only on Intel-based macs. You need to have installed [Intel Power Gadget](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/tool/power-gadget.html) (IPG) for that. It allows receiving the CPU frequency from the IPG driver. There is no way to obtain a CPU frequency on Apple silicon macs. +### How to reduce energy impact or CPU usage of Stats? +Stats tries to be efficient as it's possible. But reading some data periodically it's not a cheap task. Each module has its own "price". So, if you want to reduce energy impact from the Stats you need to disable some Stats modules. The most inefficient modules are Sensors and Bluetooth. Disabling these modules could reduce CPU usage and power efficiency by up to 50% in some cases. + ## Supported languages - English - Polski
