8-Way Linux OS Comparison On The Framework 12: Squeezing More Performance Out Of Raptor Lake
Earlier this year when the Framework 13 was updated for the AMD Ryzen AI 300 series I ran benchmarks looking at the performance gains across different Linux distributions with Debian 13, Clear Linux, and CachyOS being the outstanding performers for that Strix Point hardware.
So curiosity got the best of me and I ran eight different Linux distributions to see their out-of-the-box performance on the Framework 12 convertible laptop. The same Framework 12 laptop was used for all testing with the Intel Core i5 1334U SoC, 16GB of single channel DDR5-5200 memory, 1TB WD_BLACK SN770M storage, and the integrated Raptor Lake Iris Xe Graphics. So for those curious about how these Linux distributions compare on the Framework 12, continue on for these fresh numbers.
