5800x3d appears faster after waking up then on cold boot.
If HPET is not an option in firmware, then it is disabled (0x00) and hidden from you. Which in practice is bad. The only option for users in this case is to download your firmware from the vendor, use this tool to locate the register and set the value with this tool to enabled (0x01).

Tried modding the bios, some results?
And you can do all the same things with this(https://github.com/datasone/grub-mod-setup_var), but it doesn't have a UI, so less convenient.

How to enable Intel PTT on ASUS Z170-A motherboard with 6700K CPU?
explanation: this is where maxdarksol begins skimping on explanation. download the efi file here. It's called modGRUBShell.efi instead of bootx64.efi. It doesn't matter, it's just a file name. Get a usb thumb drive, format it as FAT32. Open it and make a folder called "efi". Then in it another folder called "boot". Then put the modGRUBShell.efi file in it.

[GUIDE] Unlock the EC TDP limit of your low power U series Intel CPU
If you are like me and don't have the option, you need to modify the option through EFI shell. Download UEFI Tool, IFR extractor, RU.efi, and UEFI Shell, and your bios.bin/biosfd . On HP laptops, you can obtain it through the third option "Copy" . You can find the platform ID in the bios.

DELL G7 7700 THERMAL THROTTLE FIX, LISTED STEPS. I7-10750H RTX2070 MOBILE // NOV 9TH,2021
The file we just extracted contains all of the toggle-able options your computer BIOS has, many of which Dell hides by default. We will need one more tool to get a human-readable version of these options, which is LongSoft’s version of IFR Extractor. (Older versions of IFR Extractor do not provide the location of the EFI variables you need to edit, but this one does.) Windows warned me the file might be unsafe, but I had no problems with it; for those who want to do due diligence, the repo/source code is here.)
