    Wow, I compiled the latest linux git and tried the guided mode and for the first time in awhile I saw a dramatic difference in my R7 5700X clock speeds. When it's not doing anything many cores now drop down to 500 MHz, sometimes even 300 or 350, and the millisecond I start doing anything, from browsing to running VMs, the clock speeds perk right up to where they should be. I haven't run any benchmarks yet but I didn't notice any difference at all in responsiveness. I'm impressed.

    By the way I'm running Arch XFCE with the default schedutil. All I did was add "amd_pstate=guided" to grub and everything magically worked.

    Yes, when I'm downstairs I game on a 5600G, the regular stuttering is completely gone in wot blitz since I switched from passive to active, I suppose it's the same on laptop apus but haven't tested yet. The PC upstairs has a 6700XT so I have no issue, enabled it just for perf/watts slight improvements according to benchmarks

    isn't amd_pstate just for cpu/apu, and nothing to do with people with add in gpus?

    Phoronix: Linux 6.4 Bringing Great Improvements From AMD G.A.M. To Early Apple M2 Code, More Rust

    With it having been another smooth week so far in the upstream kernel world, it's looking like Linus Torvalds is likely to promote Linux 6.4 tomorrow rather than going ahead with an extra release candidate. As such, here's a reminder about what makes Linux 6.4 a great summer-time kernel upgrade...
