Intel Core Ultra 7 "Lunar Lake" Performance Up By ~22% With ASUS Linux Fix
Following the ASUS AIPT patch posting this weekend from an Intel Linux engineer that was analyzing my previously-published Lunar Lake results showing rather poor performance on the ASUS Zenbook S 14, the performance has been looking much better.
Cutting to the chase, with this newest run of the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V on ASUS Zenbook S 14, the default Linux performance shoots up by 22% compared to my original Lunar Lake results after buying this laptop for Linux testing... Even with the higher power use of the AIPT standard mode operation, the Lunar Lake power use continues being a big improvement over older Alder Lake and going back to Tigerlake era laptops too if you have long upgrade cycles for your laptops. On average the Core Ultra 7 256V power use was similar to the Ryzen AI 9 365 and Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 laptops at 19 Watts across the entire span of benchmarks, so Strix Point is still coming out ahead overall for power efficiency at least under Linux with this ASUS laptop comparison.
