AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX / ASUS ROG Strix G15 AMD Advantage On Linux

Right out of the gate with the WireGuard test given the importance of VPN and secure Internet connectivity especially among mobile devices, the Ryzen 9 5900HX easily dominated thanks to its Zen 3 CPU cores and 8c/16t configuration obviously being far superior to the other laptops available for our Linux testing.

For AV1 encoding with the performant Intel SVT-AV1, the Ryzen 9 5900HX obviously shows off very well.

And in other creator workloads...

The Ryzen 9 5900HX laptop could compile the Godot game engine in a little over two minutes.

Or it can compile the Linux 5.10 LTS kernel in less than a minute and a half.

Or the open-source Mesa 3D driver stack in less than one minute.
