AMD aims at providing improve Linux performance with P-State EPP Driver

0

AMD engineers have kept working on the P-State CPU frequency scaling driver to provide an alternative to the ACPI CPUFreq driver that has been used for the server for the past week. In order to help with improved performance per Watt for years, AMD invented the P-State Energy Preference Performance (EPP). In the Zen 2 architecture and those that followed, such as the EPYC server, the business aspires to provide higher performance and power efficiency.

The ACPI CPUFreq was always able to operate more effectively than the original P-State driver. Although the performance per Watt did increase, it was never as effective as it should have been. Even in a little way, the driver would be flawed or would not function as well as the ACPI CPUFreq.

AMD anticipates that the new P-State EPP will boost Watt performance without any drawbacks compared to its previous stage.

The latest processors for ACPI Collaborative Processor Performance Control, or CPPC, are compatible with the previous Zen 2 architecture up to the newer P-State EPP driver, which focuses on merging energy preference performance.

Via Phoronix: This patchset implements one new AMD CPU frequency driver “amd-pstate-epp” instance for better performance and power control. CPPC has a parameter called energy preference performance (EPP). The EPP is used in the CCLK DPM controller to drive the frequency that a core is going to operate during short periods of activity. EPP values will be utilized for different OS profiles (balanced, performance, power savings).

Energy Performance Preference (EPP) provides a hint to the hardware if software wants to bias toward performance (0x0) or energy efficiency (0xff) The lowlevel power firmware will calculate the runtime frequency according to the EPP preference value So the EPP hint will impact the CPU cores frequency responsiveness.

Recent test released by AMD demonstrated that amd-pstate-epp outperforms acpi-cpufreq or amd-pstate employing a variety of governors in terms of performance-per-Watt on a Zen 2 EPYC server.

The performance per Watt that the amd-pstate-epp in “power” mode might provide is up to 14% higher than what the cpu-freq schedutil would deliver when using the EPP in “performance” mode.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU appears in new Leaks

0

Igor’s Lab claims to have obtained a PCB layout for AMD’s top-of-the-line Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics card, which allegedly uses the RDNA 3 Navi 31 GPU. The graphics card will provide a significant power improvement over AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics cards that are based on RDNA 2.

Igor Wallossek’s PCB leak closely resembles the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics card’s reference design. Two 8-pin connectors were reportedly present on the flagship RDNA 3 Navi 31 GPU, but this PCB appears to be a little different. It’s possible that AMD will use a different board for its own use and that this is a partner/AIC reference board.

Let’s start by examining the Navi 31 “RDNA 3” GPU, which is located in the centre of the PCB and is said to have 7 chiplets (1 GCD + 6 MCDs). The entire package area is projected to be 225mm2, with the GCD measuring 308mm2 and the MCDs measuring 37.5mm2 each. That completely fills a 538 mm2 die size. Twelve GDDR6 memory modules, each with a capacity of up to 24 GB using 16GB DRAM, surround the MCM GPU.

Regarding power delivery, it is said that the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT “Navi 31” graphics card uses a 21+3 phase power delivery solution made up of 16 voltage converters (from 8 phases running in parallel).

This alone represents a significant improvement over the Radeon RX 6900 XT’s 16 phases, and as a result, the power need has increased. This PCB has triple 8-pin connectors rather than twin 8-pin connectors. Although the card is advertised as having a maximum board power or TBP of 450W, the actual value would be less.

Starting with the RDNA generation, AMD has always attempted to take a more uniform approach with its PCB and cooling designs, and the Radeon RX 7000 series would also be adhering to these pillars.

The Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics card and other next-generation enthusiast cards would be powered by the AMD Navi 31 GPU, the top-tier RDNA 3 processor. We’ve heard that AMD would replace its next-generation RDNA 3 GPUs’ compute units with work group processors. Dual CU (Compute Units) will be housed in each WGP, but there will be four SIMD32 clusters per CU, as opposed to two on each CU in RDNA 2. According to rumours, AMD has the choice of the 6nm die from TSMC or Samsung.

The AMD Navi 31 GPU with RDNA 3 architecture is anticipated to feature a single GCD with 48 WGPs, 12 SAs, and 6 SEs, according to the most recent information. There will be a total of 12,288 stream processors distributed as a result. This represents a 2.4x increase in cores above the 5120 SPs found in the Navi 21 GPU. According to reports, the Navi 31 GCD, often known as the GPU, would be packaged on TSMC’s 5nm production node and measure 308mm2.

The Navi 31 GPU will also include 6 MCDs, each of which will have a 16 MB Infinity Cache. Additionally, these MCDs are anticipated to include 64-bit (32-bit x 2) memory controllers, giving the device a 384-bit bus interface.

Always On Display of iPhone 14 Pro supports Apple TV Remote, Maps, Phone, and more

According to CNBC in their evaluation, the iPhone 14 Pro always-on display includes a clever little trick: it continues to function when you use the phone as your Apple TV Remote.

If you don’t have the physical remote on hand, you can activate the Apple TV Remote on existing phones using Control Center.

iPhone 14 pro Additional Features

On iOS 16, it functions like an app and is found in Control Center rather than a home screen icon. It will even show up in your multitasking app switcher so you can quickly return to it if you switch to browse the web or check social media.

When using the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, this convenience is increased even further. While your phone is technically “asleep,” the Apple TV remote controls operate with the always-on display so that all the controls are still visible (if a little dimmed).

Unusually bright for an always-on mode, the always-on display of this series may become customers’ favorite method of navigating their Apple TV. This will be especially true if you watch TV in the dark at night. The Apple TV Siri Remote doesn’t have any form of backlight, so the buttons on the iPhone remote will be much easier to see.

If you want to experience everything Apple has to offer, get the iPhone 14 Pro or upgraded version. You’ll like the several beneficial upgrades, which range from the cameras to the screen.
