Intel Announces 13th Gen Core Mobile CPUs, 35 & 65 Watt Raptor Lake Desktop CPUs

We use quite a few Gemini Lake systems here and I've never seen that issue.

Just because you have never seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist...

I'm not sure if I'd trust a performance benchmark on Tremont and Goldmont on Linux.

One big reason I switched to Windows on my Apollo Lake and Gemini Lake machines is that I found Linux to boot up and work well for a while, but after a few hours of use performance drops to a point where the whole OS feels completely sluggish even though there's more than 50% of idle CPU resources. The only way out of this is to reboot the system after which Linux again performs well for a few hours before becoming sluggish, rinse and repeat.

This never ever happens on Windows.

AFAIK, Linux didn't like > ~85% filled RAM with no swap. I've multiple crash (i5-7200u) caused by RAM almost filled. Maybe that's your problem too?

I have swap. 8 + 8.

So it's definitely not an issue with swapping.And besides, the swap partition wasn't even touched at the time the system started to lag badly as reported by free -h.

Noted. I never have that problem, so can't help.
