Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cpufreq: amd-pstate: change cpu freq transition delay for some models
Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2024 15:03:22 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240429070322.999500-2-Xiaojian.Du@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240429070322.999500-1-Xiaojian.Du@amd.com>

Some of AMD ZEN4 APU/CPU have support for adjusting the CPU core
clock more quickly and presicely according to CPU work loading.
This is advertised by the Fast CPPC x86 feature.
This change will only be effective in the *passive mode* of
AMD pstate driver. From the test results of different
transition delay values, 600us is chosen to make a balance
between performance and power consumption.

Some test results on AMD Ryzen 7840HS(Phoenix) APU:

============= ================== ============== ================= ============== ================ =============== =================

In conclusion, a shorter transition delay
of cpu clock will make a quite positive effect to improve PPW on Dbench test,
in the meanwhile , keep stable performance on Tbench,
Hackbench, Perf_sched_bench and Sysbench.
