You have made a Geekbench benchmark and your single core performance on an i7-13700H on 6.6 LTS kernel is worse than my single code performance on an i7-12700H on 6.1 LTS kernel.
Don’t you think it is a regression?
I think this is more an issue of the hybrid concept … and situation will improve … please remember that Manjaro does not fix upstream issues … if you have serious problem relating to how the CPU performs - I suggest you use the kernel which provides the best for your usecase.
Other than that - I am more pragmatic
At least you can use linux61 - Arch Linux users is limited to current stable or latest LTS.
Gaming relation i don’t see a difference between Kernel 6.1 and 6.6
But if you want to still use Kernel 6.6 and since your Cores using low Mhz, you may want to adjust the coreclock in process governor?
I’m using this settings right now, on my skylake (light OC), but i have no clue if there is a clock difference between your P-Cores and E-Cores:
sudo nano /etc/default/cpupower
# Define CPUs governor
# valid governors: ondemand, performance, powersave, conservative, userspace.
governor='performance'
# Limit frequency range
# Valid suffixes: Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, THz
min_freq="4.50GHz"
max_freq="4.50GHz"
systemctl enable cpupower.service
Do this on your own risk. Its just a hint from my side.
this is not skylake and intel-pstate
this more complex since hybrid cpu P-core and E-core appears ( please reads links ) ,
also be careful with performance mode for thin laptops , they will heat more and uses idle more … only for heating
try to check thispoint in 6.1 LTS and 6.6 LTS
perf stat perf bench internals synthesizeIm aware about that…
Of course its not skylake, im using skylake and i only posted my governor settings… thats it.
Is Process governor incompatible to Alderlake and higher?
Downgrading BIOS and enabling intel_pstate (by removing intel_pstate=disable in /etc/default/grub) did solve the performance regression.
Here is the link for this BIOS (only for Executive 14 and 16 with Intel i7-12700H)

I thank everyone who was supporting me (or at least tried)!

So it was a firmware issue. I suggest reporting this to Slimbook so that they are aware of it and can hopefully fix it in a future BIOS release.
