John The Ripper was one of the few workloads showing clear performance improvements compared to two years ago.
👁 LuxCoreRender benchmark with settings of Scene: DLSC, Acceleration: CPU. EOY 2025 was the fastest.
The open-source LuxCore renderer was showing performance similar or worse to launch day, now two years later, depending upon the model being rendered. Making matters worse was seeing higher power consumption than at launch day.
Across different creator workloads, the performance was similar or slightly lower to launch day. Considering the recent tests showing Intel Lunar Lake performance improvements this year as well as AMD Ryzen wins, finding Intel Meteor Lake overall performing similar or worse to launch day two years ago was an upset.
