CoreFreq VS RyzenAdj

For sensor and whatnot, check out corefreq and ryzen_smu.

Sure! I will appreciate a full CoreFreq report of the TR 5965WX based on the develop branch.

For AMD, if you have query access to the SMU coprocessor, you could use corefreq and ryzen_smu; they're for sensor readouts, and they do slightly different things. ​(And Zentimings and HWiNFO for windows.)

Out of curiousity how the 7840HS performs at different TDP, I did some benchmarks using Geekbench 6.2.0. To change the TDP, I've used the software RyzenAdj like so:

TLDR: Ryzen Adj.

A few years ago I did a bunch of poking w/ a 4800H, you can see the actual mechanics of using RyzenAdj. There are also Geekbench 5 benchmarks linked from the doc at different power limits which you can compare to 4800U devices on Geekbench's site: https://github.com/lhl/linuxlaptops/wiki/2020-MECHREVO-Code-...

Note, each laptop manufacturer may choose their different power limits (and like Intel, AMD's curves are largely driven by temperature, so dependent on cooling solution and other settings).

This is a good summary of some of how Ryzen Mobile's power limiting works (actually, read that whole wiki if you're interested in the topic): https://github.com/FlyGoat/RyzenAdj/wiki/Renoir-Tuning-Guide

I'd also look up "AMD PMF" (their equivalent of DPTF) which only recently made it's way to the Linux kernel (but of course, that will include loads of details anyone can look through): https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-PMF-CnQF-Linux-6.1
