Given how much Microsoft wants to shove AI tools every where in Windows, I don’t think this optimisation will make much of a difference.

AMD's own Windows drivers also perform much worse in low power situations than the open source Linux drivers, whereas Windows game mode (or whatever it'll be called) is about reducing background tasks that consume RAM. Obviously reducing RAM consumption is beneficial but it's not the whole story.
