    With kernel 5.10.13 my laptop goes to sleep and resumes just fine as many times as I want to.

    With kernel > 5.10.13 it resumes just once, then dies on consequent resumes (the screen doesn't turn on, the CPU fan starts spinning, Alt + SysRQ does nothing, I cannot ping it, so it's dead).

    and people wonder why people want to forgo updating immediately when new updates hit. rather wanting to wait for the sky's to clear first. even "security" updates. they often brake stuff for bizarre reasons. for every one thing they fix, two other things break.

      I understand that 6+Ghz is not impossible, you just have to use something like liquid nitrogen. I consider it 'good' that the processors will continue to boost under those conditions without artificial limitations.

      Put another way, the 6Ghz range of a boost table is unlikely, but possible. The system should certainly report the actual frequency in any case.

        Seems like they (Intel) finally squashed the i915 graphics bug (via attempted "mitigations", thx Intel!) in 7+ generation systems that were crashing sessions since 5.10.8 kernel. Thanks to all those who did report it, and to those who fixed it too. I lost my account some years back (who need backups eh?) but did keep tabs on it just in case people weren't being honest. Well, they were.

        I'm a Debian guy but Redhat people were on it so... I live near one and I'll buy him an actual real life beer! (PM me if you want to deduct it from his salary :^)


        [5.11.3 seems good too.]

          Well, I just updated:

          $ uname -rp
          5.10.20-gentoo AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor


          And it doesn't fix it. Apparently the max clock of some of the cores is still over 5GHz, which of course is complete nonsense:

          $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
          5090625
          4957031
          5224218
          4559765
          4823437
          4689843
          4426171
          5224218
          4957031

            Heh, if someone finds an AMD processor with 6767MHz in the steam survey for march - that's me

              Damn I really enjoyed my 3700X reporting 5.05GHz
