For Llama.cpp for some AI on this 6-core AVX-512 sub-$500 laptop, there were some nice wins to find with the prompt processing performance while the text generation speed wasn't as significantly affected.

👁 Whisper.cpp benchmark with settings of Model: ggml-base.en, Input: 2016 State of the Union. December 2025 was the fastest.

👁 Whisper.cpp benchmark with settings of Model: ggml-small.en, Input: 2016 State of the Union. December 2025 was the fastest.

👁 RNNoise benchmark with settings of Input: 26 Minute Long Talking Sample. December 2025 was the fastest.

👁 PyTorch benchmark with settings of Device: CPU, Batch Size: 1, Model: ResNet-50. December 2025 was the fastest.

👁 PyTorch benchmark with settings of Device: CPU, Batch Size: 16, Model: ResNet-50. December 2025 was the fastest.

👁 Mobile Neural Network benchmark with settings of Model: mobilenetV3. December 2025 was the fastest.

For just six months of software improvements to Ubuntu and the Linux 6.18 LTS kernel, these are some really nice improvements especially for being budget hardware.
