RyzenAdj VS AMD-APU-Tuning-Utility

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

That app just uses (under the hood) this one https://github.com/FlyGoat/RyzenAdj - g-helper not using that , as it requires admin rights to run :)

i have used Ryzen Controller and it only worked for the first time when i set the temp to 85 . After that it is not working . I did some search someone said Ryzen controller does not always work and they gave an ulternative : Releases · JamesCJ60/AMD-APU-Tuning-Utility (github.com)

Yeah, works on most CPUs. Here you go.

I just downloaded this and got going: https://github.com/JamesCJ60/AMD-APU-Tuning-Utility/releases/tag/2.0.5.8

I have a laptop with somewhat similar specs (8C/16T Ryzen 7 6800H on HP Omen 16) and can see similar scores if I hard limit my CPU temp to 50C celsius, I'd recommend using AMD APU Tuning Utility, on custom presets you could try checking Temp limit close to 85C, PL0 30W, PL1 50W, PL2 65W, and clock optimizer check Curve optimizer settings: All core: -25. If you try again R23 multicore with that settings I´m sure you will see a big difference.

Use AATU. It was recommended by Ryzen Controller guys before that got deprecated. You can limit temps and set power preset for performance. Works better than Ryzen Contoller for me. https://amdaputuningutility.com/
