Phoronix: 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. My initial testing of this ASUS AIPT patch has indeed shown the Core Ultra 7 256V "Lunar Lake" yielding much better performance with this patch applied.

"I told you.." & thanks to Phoronix, though I do not use Asus, never have never will.

Wow, Intel Core Ultra hardware is still slower than the AMD Ryzen, but it now also consumes more power than the Ryzen to be slower.

Seems like a loose loose situation for Intel.

I mean, bat shit is an improvement over dog shit.

[davidbepo]

so asus is a meme and Xe KMD is still a disaster

they finally did it...what a failure after so much marketing about how good it will be with less threats to reduce power consumption.
well maybe is like this because is not the top of the line. maybe the top with double power consumption will bit ryzen finally

The reality is that if you want good gaming in a laptop you really need to buy one with a discrete GPU, preferably NVIDIA.

I saw a laptop on Staples' website for $700 with an RTX 3050 and an i5-12500H, which would be a much better gaming laptop than anything tested here.

Well Lunar Lake was designed for light workloads with all-waking hours battery life, such as that for a student going to campus, etc. The point is really not to have to lug around a power adapter. These benchmarks don't really reflect that use case. To be fair, that's not to say that Ryzen AI can't also meet that use case.

That being said, it'd be interesting to compare the AIPT scores with their Windows counterparts to see if there is any further room for Linux driver improvement.

For gaming sure. But that machine also isn't going to last for 14+ hours on battery. These are supposed to be Qualcomm / NUVIA Snapdragon x fighting machines. And gaming on this thing would be a hell of a lot easier than those ARM devices.

the reality is you don't kniw what to say about yet another intel blunder without making fool of yourself

Apparently you do not know how to spell "know" nor are you hip to a relatively new grammatical trend called capitalization and punctuation.

Am i correct in thinking you are the same jackass that used to post about Microsoft and mayonnaise and/or the same jackass that went by KDE_FOREVER?
