CPU throttling??

Just a simple question,

Would it be possible to throttle cpu when machine is in idle mode in
Linux? or is it purely a BIOS and motherboard functionality.

As you know some modern laptops in order to save power, throttle cpu
(lower the cpu clock cycles per sec) when in idle mode.

Thanks,

Seamus
