Have you configured your tunables with powertop, set amd_pstate = active (and/or set up TLP)? If not, give that a try, it's a game changer.

Also by all day I meant working day (8+ hours), which is good enough for me to take my laptop off-site and work without a battery. Still falls a good bit short from the Apple Silicon MacBook or course, can't really compete with that until we get a decent Linux-native ARM notebook (unless you count Chromebooks).

The nice thing about Macs is that you don't really have to do that...
