Hi!
Yesterday, I read an article on golem.de
(https://www.golem.de/news/ryzen-mobile-5000-cezanne-ist-modular-und-sparsam-2101-153653.html)
about the future of ryzen (mobile) processors from AMD. Inside the
article, it was told that energy saving is done by the processor itself
and that the OS will have nothing to do with it.
Using realtime apps, I wrote in the comments that I'd really prefer the
possibility for userspace interaction and criticized my Intel core i3
8100 not to allow the user to switch to firm frequencies. It was
answered that this seems to be the future and that in case of doubt I
could switch off frequency scaling in the BIOS.
That would mean a lack of comfort to me, as I can't certainly tell, if I
am using my machine for audio or another task at the moment of powering on.
As soon as frequency switching was introduced we LAU were told, not to
use it to save xruns. And as far as I can tell, the rule still valid. Is
there a chance in the future that we can stop thinking about it, because
it just won't matter? Are we forced blowing loads of energy or do we
spent too much time in sluggish UEFI menus?
I'd really like to hear your opinion about it (and possible solutions, too)!
Greets!
Mitsch
