PC Processors

I bought Code01 laptop of MECHREVO, with a processor of R7-6800H.

The manufacturer provides the option to modify the sleep mode in BIOS, but it is locked to "Modern Standby"(S0) mode and cannot be modified to S3. I asked the manufacturer's technicians. They explained that AMD prohibited manufacturers from providing S3 sleep mode to users. However,  in fact, S0 sleep is very power consuming, and has caused an abnormal increase in the number of solid state disk power on times.

I hope AMD can allow manufacturers to provide this function to users.

Would like to know as well.

I found a previous Asus Thread where Asus Laptop's BIOS Setting  S3 Mode isn't available either.

This recent thread at Eleven Forums indicates this seem to be standard on all new laptops where S3 Mode is unavailable in BIOS settings: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/how-to-disable-modern-standby-i-want-regular-sleep-again.4510/

In the same thread it has a link in Eleven Forums to able to enable or disable S3 Mode when not available. But someone mentioned it didn't work in his new Laptop from the above link: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/disable-modern-standby-in-windows-10-and-windows-11.3929/

The OS might report S3 as disabled, yet supported / available, but if enabled it may not work properly if UEFI firmware doesn't support it properly. That is my issue currently. Looking to return the current laptop and buy one that does support s3 properly. My current one with Intel i7-12700H cpu using Windows occasionally fails to etner lower power states of s0 and ends up draining battery completely in some 10h in sleep.

Thank you!

I have seen a similar solution in the past. But if I want to forcibly modify the sleep configuration in Powershell or Regedit, I must first enable S3 hardware support in BIOS.

However, it seems that AMD does not allow users to do so, which may be to force the promotion of S0 mode. I think the choice should be in the hands of users.

Recently went looking for answers from Lenovo, and they pointed me here.  The removal of S3 sleep and forcing laptops to a power state that allows the machine to do anything like run the processors at 100%.  I had my laptop drain 50% in 5 hours from just shutting the lid.  I can't imagine how livid if I would be if my battery died before I needed it for something important or if I was in the middle of unsaved work.  It is absurd that they have removed suspend to ram which has worked perfectly for a very long time.
