Intel Xe2 Lunar Lake Graphics Performance Disappoints On Linux
While I have been very eager to test out the Core Ultra 200V Lunar Lake series on Linux in part due to the new Xe2 integrated graphics, after several days of pushing a new Lunar Lake laptop on Linux the results have been very disappointing.
It's clear there are some big missed opportunities with the Linux performance coming in much slower than Microsoft Windows 11 and to the point that prior generation Xe graphics with Meteor Lake are faster. Unfortunately Intel had not supplied Phoronix with any review sample but I was eager to test out Lunar Lake on Linux and thus resorted to ordering the ASUS Zenbook S 14 UX5406SA with Core Ultra 256V SoC. This $1399 USD laptop features the Core Ultra 7 256V, 16GB of memory, 1TB NVMe SSD, and a 14-inch 3K OLED display.
