CPU frequency scaling for 12.04?

In 10.10, I remember I had CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor by default. Now in 12.04, I cannot find anything similar in Ubuntu software center. I wonder what applications are recommended for scaling CPU frequency in 12.04, and how to get and install them?

Thanks and regards!

indicator-cpufreq can be found in the Software Center by searching "cpu frequency" and then clicking on the "show technical items" option:

And this is what it looks like, to compare what you were used to in 10.04:

Note that you may need to put it in startup if you don't wish to start it manually every time -- usually it should go into Startup Applications automatically, like this:
