What does "performance" mean?
If I run benchmark with either "balanced" or "performance", the results are the
same within error.
I made the measurements with 6 probes, expressing errors accurately as:

If I look at other people's benchmarks, the conclusions are the same. They
cannot tell the difference.
The only difference I perceive is "performance" making the fans spin faster,
but it doesn't seem to translate to any perceivable performance increase.
So my guess is that "performance" makes the CPU run at max freq all the time,
and maybe setting a max turbo boost frequency. Which may translate to a sorter
latency, but the same sustained performance.
But I cannot tell what is the user case for that. So the term "performance" is
completely ambiguous, and people will chose it over "balanced" by mistake, when
there is no evidence that sustains it will deliver any perceivable gain.
