AMD Ryzen AI 300 CPU beats Intel Core Ultra 200V CPU in Linux showdown — Strix Point was up to 1.6X faster than Lunar Lake

Lunar Lake CPU.

According to in-depth testing from Phoronix, Intel’s latest Lunar Lake mobile CPUs are not performing well in Linux benchmarks.

The Linux-focused publication tested the Core Ultra 7 256V found inside Asus’s Zebook S14, which doesn’t support Linux. The lack of official support for Linux on Lunar Lake laptops might raise some eyebrows regarding testing. Still, Intel has released Linux updates crafted explicitly for Lunar Lake throughout 2024 and even 2023. Phoronix also tested two Zenbook S16 laptops equipped with Ryzen AI 300 APUs, the AI 9 HX 370 and AI 9 365, and like the Zenbook S 14, they do not officially support Linux either.
