Looking really forward for cpb boost and the fixes and improvements for heterogeneous processor in the future.

Has currently some bugs, but pretty sure they will be resolved soon.

Phew. I was starting to worry the preferred core fixes wouldn’t make it in. Hopefully they can now backport them to 6.9 to fix the performance regression.

The 7940 HS regression fix landed already in 6.9.2rc1 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux...0428a13f63bb3b

Preferred core logic is flawed. There's stuttering in games when the process gets thrown around between 2 CCXs. Hope this is resolved with this patchset..

You can disable Preferred Core by adding "amd_prefcore=disable" to your boot arguments.

It's always depressing to read commit descriptions like this. This, this and this haven't made into kernel X, wait three more months to get in X+1.

Meanwhile in Windows: install the OS, install the latest drivers, everything works.
