CachyOS Delivers More Performance Out Of Intel Panther Lake

CachyOS' default PHP package was much more performant than what is shipped by Ubuntu or openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Firefox benchmarks across all three Linux distributions were rather a mixed bag. CachyOS did pick up several wins here but was less of a convincing case compared to the heavier workloads where CachyOS tended to deliver decisive victories.

Across the range of Linux CPU and iGPU benchmarks carried out, CachyOS was around 14% faster than Ubuntu 26.04 and openSUSE Tumbleweed from testing on the same MSI Panther Lake laptop with the Core Ultra X7 358H. CachyOS continues delivering a leading out-of-the-box Linux performance experience even for platforms without AVX-512 and the beefier desktops where it's normally tested.
