AMD & Intel reduce power consumption in order to increase battery life/reduce fan noise (TDP, efficiency mode)

[Marcel]

The Intel Core Ultra Series 1 comes with three CPU modes (Framework | Fix Consumer Electronics):
Performance mode - 30W sustained 60W boost
Balanced mode - 25W sustained 60W boost
Efficiency mode - 15W sustained 60W boost

Is there a way to permanently activate the Efficiency mode in the BIOS? (I couldn’t find an option) or what would be the way on Windows to permanently activate this mode?

AMD Ryzen has “AMD Configurable TDP (cTDP)” (eg. https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/laptop/ryzen/7000-series/amd-ryzen-5-7640u.html). Is there a way to permanently configure this TDP in the BIOS or somewhere in Windows?

Windows Power Management Options

Hi all, I just setup my framework with a dual boot linux/windows config. After fiddeling aroung with “powertop --auto-tune” under Linux the battery runtime got significant better and now surpases even Windows 10. The next step for me was to have a look at advanced energy options for the power-profile where normaly you even can set powersaving options for e.g. pcie, audio, etc. but there are the fewest options i have ever seen on a device. Does anyone know if there is a way to enable more opti…

Yes, I couldn’t find an answer there specifically to my question. Maybe the answer is “not possible”.

For Windows 11 is this not enough
