Reducing computer power consumption by underclocking and undervolting is a known technique for measuring processor consumption and has been used successfully for many people to improve playback quality.
Power consumption and latency are both proxy metrics for sound quality, not necessarily causative factors (depending on the playbackchain). There is a big difference between power consumption and latency, however. Power consumption is very easily measured by readily available equipment that can be used without specialized tools or knowledge. Latency is intrinsically difficult to measure, being a difference in time. In addition there are a huge number of events (specific occurrences in terms of specific places and times) that can be differenced when measuring latency. Some of these may be inaccessible, while others need some specialized tools. Thus it makes no sense to even talk about latency in the context of computer audio without being specific as to what is being measured, where and how. (And probably why as well.)
When I listen to my record library the latency that I experience is measured in multiple trillions of microseconds.
