AMD Ryzen "Renoir" CPU Frequency Scaling Governor Performance

For those using WireGuard as a secure VPN tunnel, the performance was similar with the exception of powersave being much slower than the rest...

Powersave did lead to much lower power consumption and better thermals, but at a significant performance cost.

When it comes to classic CPU performance benchmarks, the performance governor generally leads by narrow margins as expected. The modern "schedutil" scheduler utilization governor did provide a good showing as well. Powersave meanwhile leads to much, much slower performance.
