Open two terminals:
-In the first terminal run the following command "turbostat --show PkgWatt"
-In the second terminal run some all CPU busy workload, like stress-ng or mprime
After few seconds turbostat will show that power is capped around 9W.
Now with this fix the power will be capped around 15W.
To reproduce this:
Boot Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)with 5.4 kernel.
Open two terminals:
-In the first terminal run the following command "turbostat --show PkgWatt"
-In the second terminal run some all CPU busy workload, like stress-ng or mprime
After few seconds turbostat will show that power is capped around 9W.
Now with this fix the power will be capped around 15W.
So you gain performance worth 6W.
