AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 Linux Performance With The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6
First up with the Speedometer 3.0 benchmark running in Mozilla Firefox, the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 performance came out very similar to the prior-generation Ryzen 7 7840U (Zen 4) SoC. And that was behind the Intel laptops besides the aging Core i7 1185G7 Tiger Lake SoC. At least helping to make the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 a bit more interesting was its lower power use than the Ryzen 7 7840U. The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G6 performance-per-Watt for this browser benchmark was similar to the other Strix Point laptops but behind the Core Ultra 7 256V Lunar Lake laptop tested.
With the JetStream 2.0 benchmark in both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 within the ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 was just slightly faster than the prior-gen Ryzen 7 7840U SoC. The power efficiency in some cases though was at least slightly better than the Zen 4 SoC. The ASUS Zenbook S14 Lunar Lake laptop tended to deliver the best CPU performance-per-Watt in these browser benchmarks on Ubuntu Linux.
The Strix Point Zen 5 laptops did carry some advantages over the Zen 4 laptop in some of the WebAssembly benchmarks but often times was just comparable or slightly behind Lunar Lake for the raw browser performance atop Ubuntu 25.04.
The Intel Lunar Lake Linux performance has matured a fair amount on Linux since launch and I'll be having a separate article looking more closely at the latest Lunar Lake Linux support/performance soon.
