Phoronix: AMDGPU PowerPlay Is Working Great So Far; Here's An Ubuntu PowerPlay Kernel

With AMD having published PowerPlay support for AMDGPU I've been busy today running tests on this new power management code that finally allows Tonga and Fiji GPUs to operate at their full-speed when using the open-source Linux graphics driver...

Wow...Michael testing unmerged kernel code....he must be desperate...or really really excited

Definitely do a bigger set of tests. Also how is the support for OpenGL? Any texture problems or bugs with any games or what ever would be good to hear too.

Yes, that's a good finish for this day for me!

Obviously I am running a bigger, multi-page set of tests... That was just a quick teaser.

Stuff like this is just super awesome to see. If any AMD devs are reading these, great job!

It's was said many times that AMDGPU only support Tonga (R9 285 / 380), Fiji and newer GPUs.

I'm eager to see if these patches work well even for my carrizo laptop!
