From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Back in February Intel changed the Meteor Lake EPP from a value of 128 to 115 when operating in the default "balance_performance" mode but that turns out to not be entirely ideal.

The one-line patch put out today bumps it from 115 to 64 and is yielding nice gains in performance and power efficiency.

With the revised EPP value, the Intel Meteor Lake performance improved by 19% for the Speedometer web browser benchmark.

Meanwhile the Microsoft Teams video conference power consumption dropped by 35% with that EPP adjustment.

This patch provides that updated tuning magic for the Intel Meteor Lake SoCs with the P-State driver.

Hopefully the patches will be merged for Linux v6.11 if not being submitted early as a "fix" for the current 6.10 cycle...

I’m so bad at remembering all these different Intel code names

It'll hopefully arrive before 6.11.

I suppose it’s possible they’ll back port it to 6.10 if they miss the window… but as it’s not security-oriented, that’s probably pretty iffy.
