A new Linux kernel patch series sent out today seeks to improve system power consumption at S5.
Mario Limonciello of the AMD Linux engineering team explained in that patch series: "OEM systems that ship with Linux preloaded need to go through energy certifications that match regulatory bodies in the regions that they will ship.
If any of those certifications don’t pass then OEMs might not be able to ship systems preloaded in applicable regions.
Multiple models of systems are reported to fail in Linux but pass for Windows on the exact same hardware.
With this series power consumption at S5 drops on some affected systems to ranges that should be acceptable to ship preloaded."
Simply put, Linux on some newer laptops are not currently meeting necessary regulatory certifications but behave fine on Windows.
