Dell XPS Ice Lake Taking A Wallop On Ubuntu 20.04

[joshx1]

I'm running the XPS 13 9380, and it's working great. Webcam has always worked and everything else works well. Ran Ubuntu before, then Manjaro but running Ubuntu 20.04 to great success (with KDE Plasma, in 2020 it's fantastic, but offtopic). I love it .

Will see if I can run benchmark and see what happens.

Huh. I wonder if this is impacting my HP Spectre or if it's specific to Ice Lake. I run Ubuntu 18.04, but I tend to use mainline kernel builds.

Same feeling here with an XPS 13 7390 2in1, even on a kernel 5.6.2.

Too bad, because this laptop is even more supported with 20.04 (example latest libwacom 1.3)... but camera still not working

Phoronix: Dell XPS Ice Lake Taking A Wallop On Ubuntu 20.04

With our early benchmarking of Ubuntu 20.04 in its current nearing the end of development state, we've been seeing Ubuntu 20.04 boosting Intel Xeon Scalable performance, running well with AMD EPYC Rome, and good AMD Ryzen performance, among other tests. Strangely though the one platform where I've found Ubuntu 20.04 hard regressing so far is with the Dell XPS 7390 Ice Lake...
