Is the same true for Ryzen CPUs?


I had a look and https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/reviews/amd-ryzen-9_3900x-vs...

"AMD’s Ryzen 9 3900X also has the new Collaborative Power Performance Control 2 (CPPC2) feature, which manipulates Ryzen 3000's power states from within the operating system. This is similar to Intel's Speed Shift technology and reduces power state transition latency. Ultimately, that results in a more efficient processor during all facets of operation."

Though that seems to be about boosting clocks higher clocks when it can.

Again does seem to focus upon boosting performance

So no clear-cut stand-out answer, but does seem some level of OS interaction is required, I couldn't say with 100% certainty.
