> In benchmarking we didn't observe much computational difference between the too once the CPU is fully loaded. However, cranking up or cranking down the load one will discover that the performance setting is more responsive than powersave.
this is exactly the problem in production environments; workloads can be 'bursty' which can see not-insignificant performance reduction when using powersave. Many enterprise users even go so far as to disable C-states (and ASPM, and APST, etc...). > It makes sense to default to powersave for most scenarios, especially for laptop users. for laptop users, yeah. I question if 'most scenarios' is accurate. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1885730 Title: Bring back ondemand.service or switch kernel default governor for pstate - pstate now defaults to performance governor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1885730/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
