Testing The AMD Heterogeneous Core Topology Linux Patches On Ryzen AI 300 Series

Now that I am through with my testing of the initial Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Ryzen AI 9 365 Linux performance benchmarking and support exploration, I've begun diving in to other areas of the Linux support/performance for these Zen 5 'Strix Point' SoCs

Both the same max frequency and highest performance state (ACPI CPPC value) were uniformally reported across all processor cores... So now they are properly differentiated, but at least in my initial testing of several dozen benchmarks and also monitoring the CPU/SoC power use, there wasn't much of a resulting performance difference.
