The power management and ACPI feature changes have been merged for the in-development Linux 6.5 kernel
As a win for AMD Ryzen Linux systems for greater performance and power efficiency, AMD is ready to set their P-State driver's default operation mode to be the recently merged 'active' mode for Ryzen laptops and desktops.
With Linux 6.4-rc1 released, here is my original overview of all the interesting changes coming for the Linux 6.4 kernel that will be released as stable at the end of June or in early July. As the Linux 6.4 merge window is over, it's time to begin testing this new kernel (and in my case, benchmarking it for any interesting improvements or regressions) over the next roughly eight weeks.
As anticipated the AMD P-State driver extension building out the Guided Autonomous Mode of operation has been sent in as part of the CPU frequency scaling / power management changes for the in-development Linux 6.4 kernel.
