Intel Core Ultra 7 256V "Lunar Lake" Linux Performance In Mid-2025 vs. Launch Day
Given the significant gains to the Intel Arrow Lake performance on Linux since launch that I showcased last month on Phoronix, I was also eager to see how the Intel Lunar Lake performance has evolved since its debut last year.
For looking at the Lunar Lake Linux performance I used the ASUS Zenbook S14 that I have been using for all of my Core Ultra 7 256V testing and my lone Lunar Lake device up until recently getting my hands on the wonderful Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition. The main downside of the ASUS Zenbook S14 is no LVFS/Fwupd integration for BIOS updates like you can find with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen13 and other Lenovo products under Linux. Now with Ubuntu 25.04 on the Linux 6.14 kernel and Mesa 25.0 there is nice out-of-the-box support for the Lunar Lake processor as well as the Xe2 integrated graphics.
