I can’t remember exactly since which kernel version. Since then the minimum frequency changed from 400MHz to 1100MHz and the minimum idle power usage increased about 0.5W, nothing serious and I don’t know whether it’s a bug or not. Happens in Fedora 42 as well
Previously
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver = amd-pstate-epp
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor = powersave
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors = performance powersave
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq = 400000 [kHz]
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq = 5132000 [kHz]
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq = 400000 [kHz]
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq = 5132000 [kHz]
Now
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver = amd-pstate-epp
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor = powersave
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors = performance powersave
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq = 1100000 [kHz]
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq = 5134000 [kHz]
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq = 400000 [kHz]
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq = 5134000 [kHz]
Probably caused by Linux kernel change similar to this one.
