Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Update Balance performance EPP for Emerald Rapids
Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2024 13:41:50 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Zqu6zjVMoiXwROBI@capivara> (raw)

On Intel Emerald Rapids machines, we ship the Energy Performance Preference
(EPP) default for balance_performance as 128. However, during an internal
investigation together with Intel, we have determined that 32 is a more
suitable value. This leads to significant improvements in both performance
and energy:

POV-Ray: 32% faster | 12% less energy
OpenSSL: 12% faster | energy within 1%
Build Linux Kernel: 29% faster | 18% less energy

Therefore, we should move the default EPP for balance_performance to 32.
This is in line with what has already been done for Sapphire Rapids.
