AMD EPYC 9005 "Zen 5" CPUs use the Linux P-State driver to improve performance per watt compared to the previous generations. AMD is moving forward from ACPI CPUFreq Linux driver to ACPI CPPC for better control of EPYC "Zen 5" CPUs AMD has posted patches for Linux kernel that will now change how users would be able to control EPYC server parameters. Up until now, most EPYC families were using the ACPI CPUFreq Linux driver, which gives limited control over CPU power and performance management. With the latest update, the latest EPYC families can benefit greatly since it will enhance […]
