ASUS Zenbook S 16 UM5606WA Platform Profile Impact On Performance & Power
In some workloads the power saver mode didn't end up benefiting much in terms of the power or performance-per-Watt.
And in some cases the platform profile behavior was a bit odd with the power saver mode sometimes performing better than the balanced default but when looking at the SoC power metrics the power saver mode leading to higher SoC power consumption.
Overall though the results were largely as one would expect and relatively similar to the size of the performance differences observed on other laptops with other Intel/AMD CPUs.
For those wanting to maximize their AMD Strix Point laptop power efficiency, the power saver mode can help out although the benefits will vary depending upon workload.
