Arch Linux Based CachyOS Takes The Lead On Intel Arrow Lake
In the end CachyOS was in first place 41% of the time.
On a geometric mean basis for all the benchmarks conducted, CachyOS was about 4% faster than Ubuntu 24.10 and also managing to outpace Intel's own Clear Linux as a surprising change. These results for Intel Core Ultra "Arrow Lake" were much tighter than we typically see in part due to Arrow Lake lacking AVX-512, the P-State performance governor making less of an impact than we typically see compared to powersave, etc. Those wanting to dig through all of the data can find it via this result page.
