For various single-threaded workloads like web browser use there was no measurable difference in performance. In some cases the CPU power consumption was slightly lower with the tuxedo-drivers package installed that led to slightly better power efficiency, but for the most part no unexpected surprises.

3DMark Wild Life Extreme benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1080. performance was the fastest.

With 3DMark Wild Life Extreme the CPU power consumption was higher with the platform profile but no measurable improvement to the frame rate.

No real difference in GravityMark.

Unigine Superposition benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1080, Mode: Fullscreen, Quality: Low, Renderer: OpenGL. performance was the fastest.

The Unigine Superposition data was similar to 3DMark where the performance was about the same but at significantly higher power draw.

Timed Linux Kernel Compilation benchmark with settings of Build: defconfig. performance was the fastest.

It's when moving to the multi-threaded workloads that there was a significant performance difference from the TUXEDO profile set in performance mode.
