In April we looked at [1]the Framework 13 updated for the AMD Ryzen AI 300 series and its great out-of-the-box performance and nice power efficiency of Strix Point. Via ACPI [2]platform profiles the power/performance mode can be tuned if desiring a longer battery life or preferring even greater performance. Today's article is looking at that power/performance impact of the different ACPI platform profiles available on the Framework 13 motherboard with the [3]Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 .

Similar to the recent [5]platform profile testing with AMD Strix Halo , today's article is looking at what impact adjusting those different platform profiles make for the Framework Laptop 13 with the new Ryzen AI 300 "Strix Point" SoCs. This is mainly intended for reference purposes for those new/upgraded Framework 13 laptops if wondering the impact to performance and power efficiency from adjusting the profile under Linux.

With the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 equipped Framework Laptop 13 while running Ubuntu 25.04 with Linux 6.14, I ran benchmarks at the default as used for all the Framework 13 testing on launch day: the default "balanced" performance profile. Additional runs were then done when switching to the "low-power" platform profile for power savings. Lastly the "performance" profile for pursuing the best performance possible out of this Framework 13 AMD laptop.
No other changes were made to the system hardware/software besides changing out the platform profile in use, which can be done via the sysfs interface or from the UI toggles within modern Linux desktop environments. For each test the SoC power consumption was monitored in addition to the raw performance for evaluating the impact to the power efficiency.
