Well here's my processor benchmarked under both Windows & Linux:

^ That was with the old, "slow" ACPI code. Windows is clearly beaten. The difference should be even greater with the new fix. Yay.

EDIT: and who even uses ACPI anyway?

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver  
amd-pstate
