Intel Xe2 Lunar Lake Graphics Compute / OpenCL Performance Looking Great
The clpeak OpenCL benchmark was confirming some of the big speed-ups seen for FP64 / double precision compute as well as memory bandwidth intensive scenarios that were seen in some of the other benchmarks.
Across the various SHOC compute benchmarks there were nice generational gains shown as well for the Xe2 Lunar Lake graphics on this latest upstream open-source driver stack.
Some very nice wins for Lunar Lake with ViennaCL.
Aside from OpenCL and the Intel Compute Runtime stack, with Vulkan compute benchmarks using the Mesq 25.0-devel stack with the ANV Vulkan driver were some very nice improvements too compared to prior generation Meteor Lake.
Now that some of the early Linux issues with the Intel Core Ultra 200V have been addressed like the ASUS Zenbook platform performance issue and Intel Compute Runtime fixes and an annoying keyboard/touchpad issue, the Core Ultra 7 256V experience with the ASUS Zenbook S 14 is going much more smoothly now... And the Xe2 graphics with Lunar Lake beginning to show off quite nicely. Gaming and a fresh comparison to AMD RDNA3.5 graphics are up next now having the initial Lunar Lake OpenCL exploration out of the way.
