For developers making use of Node.js or Perl and considering the HP ZBook Ultra G1a as a mobile developer workstation, Clear Linux had some slight leads here.

Those wanting to dig through more of these 7-way Linux benchmark results on AMD Strix Halo can see this result file for all the raw data.

Clear Linux and CachyOS stood out from the other tested Linux distributions with the best out-of-the-box performance on this HP ZBook Ultra G1a laptop powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395.

Interestingly Intel's Clear Linux also had the lowest CPU power consumption on average of the tested Linux distributions to make it not only a top performance but also in energy efficiency too.
