I have a laptop with Ryzen 4600H and I want to last a bit longer than 4 hours from battery. I know that I can use acpi_cpufreq, amd_pstate and amd_pstate_epp as drivers and also use different governors. Everyone praises the new pstate driver, but I think I must be missing something.

I saw this article with benchmark tests on Phoronix and from the results (and my own experience) it seems like acpi-cpufreq with powersave governors is still the best option to have the lowest battery drain and still have somewhat acceptable performance?
