Intel Lunar Lake On Linux Can Roughly Match Windows 11 Xe2 Graphics - When Not Stuck At 400MHz
Earlier this month I looked at the AMD RDNA 3.5 graphics with Strix Point between Windows 11 and Ubuntu 25.04 Linux.
The most frequent question that came up from that most recent round of benchmarking was wondering how the Intel Xe2 graphics on Core Ultra Series 2 "Lunar Lake" now compares between Windows 11 and Linux given that both drivers have been maturing the past several months. There was a lot of interest in seeing fresh Intel Windows vs. Linux iGPU benchmarks with the inquiries raised from that recent AMD Strix Point testing using the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 on the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6. It turns out I'm not alone and after some searching there are others reporting this issue too for the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13, such as on Reddit with users finding their Lunar Lake SoC getting stuck at 400MHz across all cores.
