AMD Posts Latest Linux Patches For Improving S5 Power Consumption
One of the areas worked on by AMD Linux engineers recently to better optimize the Linux kernel on AMD Ryzen platforms is for lowering the power consumption in S5 state due to some devices not being put into a low power state when the system is powered off
