Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Can Work Well As A Solid Linux Laptop
Where Intel Lunar Lake does a splendid job is in tasks like web browser performance. Here with Speedometer 3 with Mozilla Firefox on Ubuntu 25.04 this Core Ultra 7 258V delivered the best performance followed by the ASUS Zenbook S14 with the Core Ultra 7 256V. Not only were the Lunar Lake laptops delivering the best browser performance but also the best performance-per-Watt in this benchmark.
Under Google Chrome too, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition was delivering the best browser performance on Ubuntu 25.04 Linux.
Within the JetStream 2.0 browser benchmark on Firefox, the Lunar Lake laptops continued delivering the best browser performance as well as the performance-per-Watt.
With Google Chrome running JetStream 2.0, the Framework 13 with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 pulled out a surprising upset in this browser benchmark but the Lunar Lake SoCs were right behind it.
For WebAssembly (WASM) workloads, Lunar Lake tended to lead but in select test cases the AMD Strix Point laptops picked up victories.
