On Intel Emerald Rapids machines, we ship the Energy Performance Preference (EPP) default for balance_performance as 128. However, during an internal investigation together with Intel, we have determined that 32 is a more suitable value. This leads to significant improvements in both performance and energy: POV-Ray: 32% faster | 12% less energy OpenSSL: 12% faster | energy within 1% Build Linux Kernel: 29% faster | 18% less energy Therefore, we should move the default EPP for balance_performance to 32. This is in line with what has already been done for Sapphire Rapids.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
