Linux 6.15 & Early Linux 6.16 Delivering Some Additional Gains For AMD Strix Halo


As some extra benchmarks to put out today for the Phoronix.com 21st birthday, there is some additional data points to share on AMD Strix Halo when using Linux 6.15 stable and the early development state of Linux 6.16 Git ahead of its v6.16-rc1 tagging this weekend

The Linux kernel performance is moving in the right direction at least with this round of testing using the HP ZBook Ultra G1a with Ryzen AI Max+ PRO SoC. But for today are just some preliminary data points for what I've observed with the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 flagship Strix Halo SoC. I'll also have another round of Radeon 8050S / 8060S Graphics benchmarks looking at Ubuntu 25.04 versus Mesa 25.2-devel impact and of newer kernels focused on a larger set of gaming/graphics tests in the coming days.
