Intel Core Ultra 7 256V Lunar Lake With ASUS Zenbook Performing Better After New Linux Patch
On Sunday there was a new patch posted by an Intel Linux engineer to boost the Lunar Lake Linux performance out-of-the-box for ASUS laptops by adjusting the new ASUS Intelligent Performance Technology 'AIPT' feature so that Linux follows the same behavior as Windows 11.
Except until yesterday's patch, there's been no ability to manipulate the AIPT mode under Linux. In this article are those results compared to my prior Xe2 Lunar Lake benchmarking that uncovered the performance issues where at times the new laptop's performance was slower than the generation-old Meteor Lake graphics. But long story short, with this ASUS AIPT patch applied, the ASUS Zenbook S 14 performance with the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V is performing much better on Linux -- with slightly higher power use as would be expected.
