Testing The New ASUS Platform Profile Support In Linux 5.15

When it came to the web browser benchmarks in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, the ACPI Platform Profile support had little impact on the overall performance.

The CPU power consumption wasn't all that different during the browser tests...

To no surprise the "quiet" mode did lead to higher CPU operating temperatures.

The quiet mode also led to higher operating temperatures for the Radeon GPU, system temperature, and even the NVMe drive temperature given the profile's focus on staying quiet and thus keeping the cooling fan to a minimum.

For threaded code compilation workloads there wasn't much of a difference between the default "balanced" mode and the "performance" mode while switching over to quiet led to a measurably slower build performance.

The quiet mode led to a peak CPU frequency during the build tests at around 3.9GHz rather than 4.3GHz...

The Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU package power consumption reported by RAPL was about 20 Watts lower in the quiet mode.
