This topic is splitted from "Daemon to set scaling_max_freq according to CPU temperature". --Zucca
EDIT: The following will help new readers to catch up: | Zucca wrote: | Does intel CPUs generally benefit more of this daemon?
I haven't dug much info, but looking at htop and other sysmons on my boxes, it looks like most intel CPU can change cpu frequency very gradually, instead of rough steps.
My Ryzen based laptop has the following: | Code: | | available frequency steps: 2.10 GHz, 1.70 GHz, 1.40 GHz |
, only three stages of CPU frequency.
I've been toying with an idea of building some µATX or even miniITX workstation. I'll probably place some high TDP CPU there, and would like to use cputemp2maxfreq to limit the performance when on "silent-mode".
So would choosing Intel be a better choice compared to AMD? |

Indeed I am.
I did a little investigation, and I have amd p-state driver compiled in, but: | Code: | zucca@NBLK-WAX9X ~ $ dmesg | fgrep amd_pstate:
[ 0.670770] amd_pstate: the _CPC object is not present in SBIOS or ACPI disabled |
... and there aren't any setting in the BIOS to control this. In fact almost everything in BIOS is enabled.
Next step would be to update BIOS.

Which kernel? Which CPU?
Try
on the kernel command line.

p.s. maybe split that part of the thread |

I've tried that already. Nothing changes. I even blacklisted acpi_cpufreq, but no result.

Done. ;)

If it helps, here are the relevant kernel configs of 2 different AMD systems were scaling works well here: | Code: | $ sudo zgrep -e FREQ -e GOV /proc/config.gz | grep -v ^#

Thanks @toralf.
I'll start comparing my configs...

I thought that CPU is Zen2, but unfortunately it's Zen+, so only acpi-cpufreq for it.

Ok. Thanks. I wasn't aware of Zen or Zen+ lacking p-state support. I might as well drop all the related settings from the kernel.
Maked as [NOTSUPPOTED]. ;)
