I'm currently working on Ubuntu 12.04 x64. A lot of manuals about power saving in Linux tells about using parameters /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings and /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_smt_power_savings, but they don't exists in my OS. Is it about 3.X kernel improvements? Is there any similar ways of turning CPU scheduling in power save mode on Ubuntu 12.04?

That is strange -- sched_mc_power_savings seems to exist on my system. I am running 12.04 x64, fairly vanilla install. What are the contents of your /sys/devices/system/cpu directory? Mine looks like the following:

mike@cobbler:~$ ls -la /sys/devices/system/cpu/
