> [@umbra](#): > > Thank you very much @Michael_Wu for the in-depth documentation (I might have stolen your TLP config 😛)! Sure thing! That’s why I posted it and so that it can be used as a starting base for further discussion 🙂 I’ve been using my AMD laptop off and on (but not much heavy use) the last week while traveling and battery life has been much better than my previous 11th gen mainboard (didn’t measure hard numbers though). I saw the [PPD v TLP for AMD Ryzen 7040](http://community.frame.work/t/tracking-ppd-v-tlp-for-amd-ryzen-7040/39423) thread – has anyone tested Mario’s comment from there yet? > [@\[TRACKING\] PPD v TLP for AMD Ryzen 7040](http://community.frame.work/t/tracking-ppd-v-tlp-for-amd-ryzen-7040/39423/12): > > I suggest looking at measuring power efficiency (using the rapl interface). If you’re less efficient at lower power consumption are you actually better off? It’s a trade off. When I get the chance I will test, and probably better off responding in the respective thread. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.frame.work/t/tracking-linux-battery-life-tuning/6665)._
