Some recent Asus laptops are supporting ASUS Intelligent Performance
Technology (AIPT). This solution allows users to have maximized CPU
performance in models with a chassis providing more thermal head room.
Refer to [1].
There are major performance issues when Linux is installed on these
laptops compared to Windows install. One such report is published for
Graphics benchmarks on Asus ASUS Zenbook S 14 with Lunar Lake
processors [2].
By default, these laptops are booting in "Whisper Mode" till OS power
management or tools change this to other AIPT mode. This "Whisper" mode
calls to set lower maximum and minimum RAPL (Running Average Power
Limit)
via thermal tables. On Linux this leads to lower performance even when
platform power profile is "balanced". This "Whisper" mode should
correspond to "quiet" mode.
So, when AIPT is present change the default mode to "Standard" during
boot. Map the three platform power profile modes as follows:
Power Profile Mode AIPT mode
-----------------------------------
quiet Whisper
balanced Standard
performance Performance
------------------------------------
Here AIPT mode can be detected by checking presese of "FANL" method
under
PNP HID "PNP0C14" and UID "ATK". If AIPT mode is present, this takes
precedence over the existing VIVO thermal policy. These modes are set
using "FANL" method.
Although this “FANL” method is not used in the Asus WMI driver, users
have used this method from user space [3] to set AIPT modes. Used this
as a reference.
