Intel Baseline Profile Yields Odd Power/Performance On Linux
Intel motherboard manufacturers have begun rolling out BIOS updates containing an 'Intel Baseline Profile' option to apply stock power limits to modern Intel processors.
As the first of several ongoing tests I'm working on at Phoronix, here are some preliminary findings for using the Intel Baseline Profile option on an ASUS motherboard with the Core i9 14900K under Ubuntu Linux. Enabling the Intel Baseline Profile option on this ASUS PRIME Z790-P WiFi motherboard disables the ASUS Multi-Core Enhancement, SVID behavior to Intel Fail Safe, enables IA CEP / GT CEP / SA CEP rather than being in auto, and sets the Intel default IA TDC and GT TDC current limits. For less than $4 USD per month, you can help support our site while the funds generated allow us to keep doing Linux hardware reviews, performance benchmarking, maintain our community forums, and much more.
