It shows that when using the Ryzen Controller the CPU is clocked a bit lower overall. The first slide shows the effective average clock of the CPU. With more headroom it should mean the GPU can run at full speed longer = better performance.Īll the tests below were done with Ryzen Controller setting the CPU TDP to 12W. One of the reason I want to limit how much the CPU is boosting is also that it would mean that the temperature of the CPU is lower which should give the GPU some more headroom. I wanted to lower the temperature of the CPU and GPU as much as possible while still get good performance from it.Īfter looking around a bit it seems that lowering the CPU TDP will limit the socket power package limit which is used to manage the device boost period. While it is possible to use Ryzen Controller to increase performance by for example allowing the laptop to draw more power when boosting I was interested in doing the opposite. This defines the length of the boost period The temperature the CPU can reach before boost levels off (in ☌) The power that the CPU draws directly after boosting (in watts)

The power that the CPU draws while it is boosting (in watts) The power that the CPU draws for extended periods of time (in watts) There are five settings in Ryzen Controller that affect STAPM: It allows devices to boost to a higher power state for a short period of time before being throttled down to keep things cool to the touch. The thing I am the most interested in is the ability of Ryzen Controller to controll the STAPM (“Skin Temperature Aware Power Management”) which is AMD’s solution for keeping mobile devices at a comfortable operating temperature. Bjorn3D is not liable for any damages that my occur from using Ryzen Controller. Before I move on I want to just be clear about one thing.
