New AMD Linux Patches Aim To Further Boost Performance For Heterogeneous CPU Designs

[intelfx]

if I wanted to test these patches for myself, would I need to compile the kernel in order to do so?

Well yes, in order to test a given change to a program's source code, one has to compile the program from its source code with that change carried out

I have a 2024 G16 with an HX 370. Performance is good but my geekbench scores are low, even when I pin the single core test to a performance core. Getting around 2100 single core when I just run the program, around 2500 when I pin it to a p core. I would estimate I'm getting 7-9 hours of screen on time with Fedora 41 Beta. Apologies for not knowing this, but if I wanted to test these patches for myself, would I need to compile the kernel in order to do so? Appreciate the help.

Hmmm... But will the scheduler actually know that it should put tasks on these cores and keep them there?
