The Impact Of The CPU Frequency Scaling Governor On AMD Threadripper 2990WX Linux Performance

With the C-Ray ray-tracer, ondemand, performance, schedutil, and conservative were all delivering around the same performance.

For many workloads, the performance governor yields no real difference compared to the ondemand default.

Or very minor differences in other tests.

With IndigoBench was the sole test where the schedutil governor was in front for relying upon the kernel's scheduler utilization data. But there was also higher variation between runs with this particular benchmark.
