Partially for getting ready for upcoming Linux testing of AMD Ryzen AI 300 sequence laptops, I have been re-benchmarking varied Intel/AMD laptops across the lab at Phoronix. In right now’s article is a contemporary have a look at how the prevailing AMD Zen 4 laptop computer efficiency within the type of the favored Framework 13 and Framework 16 laptops is competing with the Intel Core Extremely 7 155H “Meteor Lake” SoC whereas utilizing Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and upgrading to the newest Linux 6.10 growth kernel in addition to the most recent Mesa open-source graphics driver help.
July can be attention-grabbing with the AMD Zen 5 powered Ryzen AI 3000 sequence coming to market in addition to Intel Lunar Lake laptops slated to ship in Q3. However for now these questioning concerning the present era Intel and AMD laptop computer processor efficiency when utilizing the very newest open-source and upstream Linux code, this text is for you. I ran greater than 400 benchmarks throughout various workloads/pursuits whereas additionally monitoring the CPU package deal energy consumption and in flip the CPU performance-per-Watt.
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS was freshly put in on every laptop computer below take a look at after which upgrading to the Linux 6.10 Git kernel in addition to Mesa 24.2-devel by way of the Oibaf PPA. With Linux 6.10 use comes a really modern have a look at how these AMD and Intel notebooks are performing with the very newest driver enhancements.
The Core Extremely 7 155H testing was being performed from an Acer Swift Go 13 laptop computer I had purchased on Meteor Lake launch day. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS was inside a Framework 16 laptop computer overview pattern and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U inside a Framework 13 laptop computer overview pattern. All three laptops had been geared up with 16GB of RAM and NVMe storage. For the Ryzen AI 300 sequence laptop computer testing in July with the {hardware} I pre-ordered can be an excellent bigger Linux laptop computer comparability for these fascinated about present and former CPUs.
