I get 'powersave' as default too. According to the ArchWiki site [1]
modern Intel CPUs use the intel_pstate driver which selects 'powersave'
by default, and it goes on to say:

   The intel_pstate driver supports only two governors: powersave and
   performance. Although they share the name with the generic
   governors, they do not work in the same way as the generic
   governors.
