Intel Core Ultra 7 256V "Lunar Lake" Linux Performance In Mid-2025 vs. Launch Day
👁 libavif avifenc benchmark with settings of Encoder Speed: 6, Lossless. April 2025 was the fastest.
Across a wide variety of Linux benchmarks carried out, the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V with the ASUS Zenbook S14 exhibited much better performance now atop Ubuntu 25.04 than where it was when Lunar Lake was first introduced last September. Very strong gains across the board with the latest open-source Linux software improvements benefiting Lunar Lake, similar to the strong gains we've also seen out of Intel Arrow Lake desktop processors since last year.
