Linux 6.5+ Bringing Some Performance/Efficiency Improvements For The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme / ASUS ROG Ally

For most of the graphics/gaming tests carried out on the ASUS ROG Ally with Ryzen Z1 Extreme, there wasn't much of a difference to the performance across the kernel versions tested. Above is just a few of the gaming/graphics tests carried out.

But in some instances like with GravityMark, while the performance was unchanged, beginning with Linux 6.5 where AMD P-State is the new default the same level of performance was achieved but with slightly less power and in turn leading to better power efficiency.

One of the exceptions was with Unvanquished where running on Linux 6.5+ did boost the performance for the Ryzen Z1 Extreme integrated graphics.

On Linux 6.5+ in this configuration the CPU power increased slightly but still was showing an overall improvement in power efficiency.

It was a similar story with the DDraceNetwork lightweight platformer game where it did enjoy slightly better performance too on Linux 6.5+ with some settings.
